This week I've had two visits to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery/Crafts Council "Lost in Lace" show, one with the tiny people and one with the grown ups. I didn't know what to expect but have to say it's the first time in a while I've been really stunned by a gallery show. More specifically, this piece by Chiharu Shiota:
It has to be seen in person, the impact is just not the same with a photo, so I recommend anyone in the area to get down to BM&AG to see it. Real wow factor!
And the rest of the show is pretty good too! Ruby was impressed with the "breathing wall", "crystal chandelier" and the standard communal wool weaving wall activity, although mostly enjoyed snipping wool with scissors. Alex enjoyed having a big empty floor to attempt crawling around on!
Feeling all inspired now!
