Label copy

In Lucky DeBellevue’s sculpture a pair of disembodied legs and feet seem to be walking through the gallery space. Assembled from variously colored pipe cleaners, the piece was painstakingly woven by the artist, transforming a humble everyday material into a diaphanous form that resembles a network of cells. Suspended from the ceiling, the sculpture is monumental in scale, but also lightweight and ephemeral in nature.
