We Never Thought We'd Lust After Mylar

As if the siren song of Silver Lake wasn’t strong enough (don’t pretend we’re the only ones who have skulked past Home praying for a Seth Cohen sighting), today’s “Currents: Los Angeles” section in the Times highlights a beautiful new installation at the Materials & Applications gallery on Silver Lake Boulevard. The vortex-shaped canopy is made of translucent, amber-colored mylar, and the pictures in the Times, taken on a brilliantly sunny day, make the open-air space beneath absolutely glow: The panels look like birds of paradise feathers stitched together and the light filtering through creates a golden-hued mosaic on the floor.
