[Byline: The Golden Spider Silk at the V&A showcases the world's largest pieces of cloth made entirely from spider silk].
“Simon Peers explains the spectacle before us. ‘If we hadn’t made this permanent, this silk would be webs in the wind. That’s part of the magic. Something so ephemeral and yet somehow we’ve managed to capture it.’” (24)

Funny coincidence. My post for the day is about the word the hypnagogic state! In any case, the detail in the cape is extraordinary.
Amazing.
Beautiful. I have wondered if spider silk was a viable material. Now I know. Thank you.
fuckin beautiful!
Magnificent. Captivating art and terrific reflection of life. I’ll have to search for a copy to add to my personal collection
As a spinner I find this fascinating!
