The execution just isn't up to the idea...which itself isn't really groundbreaking to begin with. Something like this needs real craft, major scale and hyper-attention to detail. This almost seems sloppy. Compare with Ai Wei Wei's stacked cloth, John Brisbee's sculpture, or any of Tara Donovan's work...and this comes off tepid at best. http://images.google.com/images?rlz=1C1CHMI_en-USUS299US303&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=John%20Bisbee&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi http://images.google.com/images?rlz=1C1CHMI_en-USUS299US303&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=tara%20donovan&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1CHMI_en-USUS299US303&q=ai+wei+wei+cloth&btnG=Search+Images What Jed said.
