Rosslyn's yarn bombs, crafted fantasies, stitched art, and colored fabric arrays will animate a public art discussion and walking tour centered at Artisphere this Saturday from 10:30am to 3pm. This Rosslyn art showcases post-cubism, modern abstract expressionism, and stuff that's just fun to look at.
