after a very delayed, mostly unpleasant, somewhat bumpy back flight from boston, at about eleven last night, as we trekked to baggage claim, i saw this amazing piece in a display case in our very own airport.
even though exhausted and incubating a terrible head and throat cold at the time,
ben
patiently allowed me to unpack the camera and take a few pictures. in fact, you can see

in two separate reflections here, admiring the piece.
here is the attribution. i couldn't tell you were in the airport it is; somewhere in the new international terminal, i think. the work does not seem to utilize any traditional needlework - i think it's just hair shaped over wire and twisted into shapes. but i thought it was damned gorgeous. always on the lookout, you know.
