Thanks to Connecticut fiber artist, Morna Crites-Moore, for pointing me to the artwork of Makiko Wakisaka.
This piece looks eerily similar to the nests made by Turkish Bees.

I count Makiko Wakisaka as one of my favorite artists. I just wish that I could some day see her works in person. Thanks for sharing her with your readers.
ReplyDeleteYou made some beautiful choices of what to show. I am in the same camp as Valerie .... feel very fortunate to even have seen pictures of her work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to my blog, too. That is very nice of you.
I feel fortunate to be have good company in you two (and others) on the web. Thank you again Morna, for seeing the similarity between the bees and Makiko!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Morna and Christine for introducing this artist to me. It takes my breath away.
