Nina Katchadourian- Mended Spiderweb #8

This piece was created by Nina Katchadourian using red sewing thread attached directly onto broken spider webs. I liked this piece because I like the message- that of man attempting to repair nature. In doing so, I think the artist highlights the complexity and beauty of nature and how man can make a positive influence on his surroundings. Strangely enough, the artist stated on her website that she would often find the red string lying on the ground the day after her repair. It soon became apparent to her that the spiders had rejected her work and repaired their webs to perfection themselves.
