I was kind of taken b surprise that it was so popular. After all this time of talk art vs craft, I have no idea how they saw this as an art piece, rather than a long, coarse scarf.

Certainly no less of an art piece than other weavign pieces that end up in corporate spaces.<BR/><BR/>It looks fabulous - the drape looks like it echoes a Fibonacci sequence from that angle as well, which adds to the appeal.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say hi.
