Sculpture: 1.4 Million Feet of Painted Rope

This brilliant red wall of rope is a sculpture in Madison Square Park. I came upon it by accident, but I'm heading back today to take more pictures. Apparently I missed the yellow and blue walls, perhaps because when you see this you think "What else could there be?" The artist collected used lobster rope from the eastern shoreline and knotted and painted it over a period of three years.

Even the little dog wanted a longer time to take it all in.
