Big bamboo

This is a fabulous climbing experience at the Israel Museum.  BIG BAMBOO.  10,000 bamboo poles, 80,000 meters of colored climbing rope, this spectacular 18 meter high outdoor installation offers unbelievable views of Jerusalem.  It's only slightly terrifying stepping on materials I have used a musical instruments.  

The structure combines sculpture and architecture.  The colorful climbing ropes remind me of Alice's macrame light she wove on Sycamore in Tacoma Park. 

The installation is created by twin brothers Doug and Mike Starnes, Americans, who have built this astonishing structure is  New York, Venice, Rome, and Japan.

The Israel Art Museum is fantastic.  The exhibit of Neolithic masks is superb.  The masks are 9,000 years old.

    These are ancient burial urns.  Life size.
