The stunning, intricate creations of Gabriel Dawe are made from thousands of brightly colored threads. His exhibits can take over a year to install and the result is breathtaking.

From the article at AllThatisInteresting.com:

Gabriel Dawe is a Dallas-based mixed media and installation artist, whose work has been featured all over the world.

Dawe was born in Mexico City, Mexico, where much of his inspiration comes from, especially his interest in the construction of Mexican gender and identity. As a child, Dawe felt restricted by the harshly defined gender roles that shaped his life. In his Plexus series, Dawe uses the colorful threads to represent the body’s network of blood vessels and nerves. He hopes that the series will encourage viewers to reflect on Mexico’s machismo culture.
