Webs - cotton netting ca. 1971 - 1973

I was an undergraduate at flORida state unv. in the school of education studying constructive design. What's that? Oh. I mean to say I was learning how to make jewelry and do fiber art. At that time of the century fine art departments looked down on the "crafts." So it goes. Anyway, as a fiber art I began a series of spider webs. Here are just a few. The final piece I do not have a photo of was 5 stories tall stretched between two dormitories at fsu.

I did these webs at night usually on my way home after working at the Pastime Bar & Grill on W. Tennessee. Then I'd come back the next morning to see what was left.
