As much as I love a good excuse to dress up, my favorite costume idea turned out to be just way too much trouble for me to pull off as I couldn’t really figure out the prep due to rains and the fact that I wanted to wear it to work but Halloween is actually on a Sunday. But I figured someone must’ve done it so I did a web search and sure enough, someone did in fact make themselves a piece of Lichtenstein art. Check it out, via Charmed:

The upcoming holiday reminds me of my fascination with spider webs and their delicate patterns and amazing architectural structures. While I’m not exactly excited about the trees surrounding my house providing a rather large safe haven for a freakishly large breed of these leggy creatures, I’m constantly reminded of their amazing spinning abilities and acrobatics. Of course, I’m not the only one fascinated with their creations. Argentinian artist and architect, Tomás Saraceno, has created a stunning piece based on the art of web spinning called 14 Billions made entirely of black rope.

From Stockholm’s Bonniers konsthall, “In collaboration with spider researchers and astrophysicists, Tomás Saraceno has spent several years developing the 400 cubic metre installation that is exhibited at Bonniers Konsthall. An enormous model of the poisonous spider the Black Widow’s web, the point of departure for the new work is how scientists use images of spiders’ webs to describe the origin and structure of the universe. The gigantic spider’s web, especially made for the main gallery of Bonniers Konsthall, consists of elastic black rope which will span floor to ceiling.”
