This is a piece which was created by a collaboration of designers. This is a human made piece but it is inspired by the structure of natural spider webs. They have used tape to create this huge structure. I think that this is an interesting choice of materials as it is very different from spider silk. However it would still have the sticky qualities to it, which would mimic that of an actual web, which is designed to catch food for its makers - the spiders. This is an inspiring installation for me and one which I feel we could look at as a group to give us ideas of presentation. This is an area where we are struggling for inspiration, as we are unsure of how to display our work. Therefore this could give us some ideas, as it shows us something which has already been created by other designers.

I really like the way that people have taken the natural form of the spiders and put their own twist on it using manmade materials. I like the way that these structures have been developed on a really big scale and used a very different type of material to give the webs an artificial, shiny look.
