Gabriel Dawe

In case it’s not clear what you’re looking at these installations are made from thousands of different coloured threads.  Dawe’s works are astoundingly detailed; they can take up to 140 hours to complete as they’re painstakingly woven by hand in-situ for their exhibition.

I love stuff like this because it produces a clear-cut optical illusion and because it demonstrates what can be done with a good idea and ton of patience. The meritocratic side of me says that even if you don’t appreciate the result you have to marvel at the effort.
