The exhibit from Ernesto Neto "SunForceOceanLife" is now open at the The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. We climbed in this immersive installation, one of the largest crochet works to date by the renowned Brazilian artist. It is a suspended labyrinth that highlights the cyclical relationship between the sun and the sea to produce life on earth. Not only is the artwork interactive, which the kids loved, it also helped them reflect on elements of nature.
