I finally made it to the Brooklyn Museum last week. I saw 2 exhibits including the "Workt by Hand" Hidden Labor & Historical quilts and "Gravity & Grace" El Anatsui. The latter had an exhibit of monumental proportions using mainly bottle caps and copper wire. Truly mesmerizing, and nothing like I've seen before. The bottle caps come from a local distillery in Nigeria, then pieced together.
Take a look yourself - Gravity & Grace
