Cool things we've seen

I came across this wonderful piece by designer and artist, Ayala Serfaty entitled SOMA (Greek for ‘body’, apparently).

Serfaty has worked with thin filaments of glass, woven to produce spatial structures which are ultimately sprayed with a polymer to generate a skin-like layer.  The manual work process is akin to the transformation of an intimate calligraphy drawing into a three dimensional composition of architectural scale. Throughout the course of six years of development, “landscape formations” have crystallized to spawn the current installation, topography of light.

It reminds me of the Roger Hiorns piece that we love, and is very cool.
