Gabriel Dawe is a Mexican artist who creates huge rainbow-colored sculptures using miles and miles of thread. His heritage influences his work. To him, textiles and embroidery are activities traditionally associated with Mexican culture. His series, called Plexus, requires a great deal of patience. Armed with a giant needle that’s attached to a long pole, Dawe hooks each strand of thread to a specific anchor point. Conceptually, these works are about the human need for shelter.

Here, he takes the main material that clothing is made out of—thread—to create bright and beautiful architectural structures
