Be sure to see “Another Use for Tulle: The Work of Ernesto Neto” by Elaine Lipson of Red Thread Studio. Her review summarizes the impressions of several well-known critics and points out additional resources, including a slideshow of the Anthropodino installation. Lipson says,
Within this massive construction are yards and yards of hand-embroidered edging and fabric sacs full of spices acting as natural dye agents, letting rich reds and yellows and ochres seep into the tulle. And then there are bones, perhaps in the spirit of this Mineral Year. One young assistant, stitching underneath layers of tulle, said she felt like a silkworm.
Fascinating. See the post.
