« untangled refuge »

aka = big bambu @ the met roof garden

what a feat... what a refuge.

it is the most recent creation by starn studio suspended up at the met roof garden until the end of the month. the bamboo structure measures 100 feet long, 50 feet wide and 50 feet high. the bamboo is strung together with some 50 miles of nylon rope, transforming into an art form peering over the city and the lush central park below. guided tours are offered and i would well advise of taking one - just for the thrill of climbing in between the bamboo, up some 50 feet from the roof garden deck below... but do try and go at an off time and do remember to wear rubber soled shoes.

the piece has an undeniable elegance and intention about it.
in some way, the slender bamboo poles pierce the sky with convergence not conflict.

it is a presence to be considered.
