Through The Veil

 At the Sarasota Museum of Art, viewers can immerse themselves in the glowing colors of Lillian Blades’ artwork. Textured assemblages hang on the walls, inviting a closer look to puzzle out all the repurposed objects that form them. The free-hanging "veils" are mesmerizing, with units cut from mirror, transparent plastic and fabric-covered wood. They are wired together into fabric-like veils that cast complicated shadows. It’s a magical environment.
