This past weekend I went to a really inspiring exhibit and demonstration at Philadelphia University called Lace in Translation. I watched master lacers create the most intricate bobbin lace. And then I went and saw the exhibit that was inspired by the Quaker Lace Company. The exhibit included 3 artists: Demakersvan, Tord Boontje, and Cal Lane.
Demakersvan created a beautiful chain link fence using lacing techniques.
Tord Boontje used lace making to inspired a couch and the use of natural materials such as grass.
Cal Lane welded a lace pattern into a 2000 gallon oil tank. Pretty wonderful stuff. More info at: www.laceintranslation.com
