Gabriel Dawe's Thread Installations

I'm completely enthralled by these colorful thread installations by Gabriel Dawe. I had the good fortune to spend some time with Fred Sandback when I worked at the Dia Center many years ago, and this seems like an exuberant reinterpretation of those minimalist string sculptures. It's incredible the way the thread just looks like colored mist from a distance, but is incredibly complex up close. (Via Swiss Miss.)
