Even though spiders creep me out, this is so cool!

Louise Bourgeois,Maman (1999)

“The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. My family was in the business of tapestry restoration, and my mother was in charge of the workshop. Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother.” - Louise Bourgeois

There is a smaller version of this at the Meijer gardens here in grand rapids. I absolutely fell in love with it.
