Label copy

Pearl-like beads glisten on a pair of spiderwebs as the shadow of a tree branch arches across the background of this photograph. The dew enhances and adds graphic contrast to the web’s otherwise transparent structure. The artist says she seeks “to immerse viewers in a visceral and sensual contemplation of nature and our place within it.”
