Lace is more than grandma doilies and cheesy curtains. It is also wire and bone and wood and plastic and can convey emotion as well as any painting. It makes you start at the skill involved and wonder in awe among its repetitive patterns or organic woven landscapes. It is a car, a stack of books, horse hair and cool imagination. It is dimly but effectively lit and so, the shadows become as important as the 3d form.
All this and more was learned while wandering through the exquisite 'Love Lace ' exhibition at the Powerhouse.
You know it's good when it draws the attention of two young boys away from the plethora of touch screens, kinect devices and space equipment.....they were a bit entranced and even a little spooked by the other worldliness they have managed to create in the space.
