I do love public and community artwork! A few days ago the Wooster Collective pointed to the public art of Seyed Alavi. There are lots of great projects to browse through, but the Flying Carpet, an aerial view of a 50 mile stretch of the Sacramento River translated into woven carpet, which was made for a pedestrian bridge at Sacramento International Airport, is extra cool.

I also like What do you think? and Solitude.

David D. Schwartz has an interest in casino landscapes, and has a fine gallery of casino carpets (updated link to Wired article 2015). The Treasure Bay carpets make me smile thinking what might have been done with the old Pemberley site map.

I’m meandering now, but you also ought to check out the miraculous Peace Rug. Don’t miss the picture page. Lets ship one to our world leaders! (update: links no longer exist)
