Experience a Knitted Wonderland in The Blanton's Faulkner Plaza! In a site-specific installation led by textile artist Magda Sayeg, the trunks of all 99 trees in between the museum's Michener and Smith buildings have been covered with colorful yarn, crafted by over 170 local volunteer knitters. In a community effort reminiscent of American quilting bees, Sayeg's intervention with the space will transform visitor's experience of the natural landscape. The work also responds to pieces in the museum's current exhibition, Recovering Beauty, which focuses on the use of crafts and a return to beauty, color, and playfulness.
