This is a stunning installation - outside the elevators - in the Kimpton hotel in Nashville (a city that seems to have developed a crazy rich bustling scene since I was last here a few years ago). It's by Anne Lindberg and is called redberry. It also looks strangely different in a photograph to its shimmering existence in real life (and I tried taking a number of photographs, and this was the most successful - and nothing I could do in Photoshop could recreate the luminosity of the hot pink and glowing orange cotton threads. To quote the accompanying text: "The artist's interest lies in tapping a 'non-verbal place' to provoke emotional, visceral, and perceptual responses from her viewers," which of course either says nothing much, or leaves everything entirely open. Only I'm so struck by how this image looks like a drawing, albeit one that would be none too easy to execute.
