SOUNDSUITS AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.

Nick Cave, is a multi-talented artist who dabbles with textiles that make a ruckus. Soundsuits, born at the collision of twigs and a sewing machine are ornate costumes made of materials ranging from human hair, sisal, plastic buttons, feathers and sequins that bring to life a new sound when shakin’ and groovin’ is added to the mix. To be worn or gawked at in a gallery, these music makers are suh-weet. You can check them out in person, at the “Meet Me at the Center of the Earth” exhibit at the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles, now until May 30th.
