white curtains

I had no ideas, it is so difficult to see mistakes in white on white in lace pattern.
Last night I did not weave, I just un-wove.
I got at times really frustrated but reflecting on my activity, I probably learned more from it then just weaving and finishing a project. Now I know some of the problems, even thinking of how to do 6 panels, maybe adding some color in the remaining 4 to be able to see the pattern better.

Carlos Cruz-Diez: Color in Space and Time

Very impressive - after an hour I had to leave the exhibition to clear my mind of those intense colors.
After wondering for a while thru the museum, I went back to finish the exhibition. It will take me a long time to digest what I have seen.
I wonder if his imagery will influence my weaving.

SSA is very fortunate to have one of Jon Eric Riis's earlier pieces at the Navarro Campus.
I can't step far enough away to take a picture of the piece as a whole.You just have to come and see it for yourself.

This photo is taken looking up.
