Complex Networks of Intertwined Rope by Janaina Mello Landini

Using lengths of colored nylon rope, installation artist Janaina Mello Landini creates complex systems of intertwining threads. The unwound rope finishes tangle and reach into a giant game of Twister, resulting in sculptural installations which bring to mind the natural patterns found in neural networks, blood vessels, and tree roots. One recent piece, Ciclotrama 50, is a permanent installation at Foundation Carmignac, a French island museum that opened this spring. You can explore more of Landini's portfolio on her website and Instagram.
