By the way, this work of art is afterall located within the new rebirth of the North Carolina Museum of Art and the name would be just perfect. Plus in early April the local Christmas Ferns will be unfurling here in North Carolina as well. Ah, nice to have the excellent timing of nature here in North Carolina to express itself too!

I still like that best since (to me) the installation is woven out of material that was alive, has rich texture, hangs on a wall (covering the wall), and seems to tell a story. But I keep coming back to the photo to look at it again (can't wait to see it in person) and so I'll add these other suggestions: "Ingrown" "Wind" (pronounced with both a short "i" and a long "i") I suggested “Tapestry” on Twitter.
