"Arline Fisch: Creatures from the Deep" is a travelling exhibition from the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin. Fisch is well known for her textile techniques and elegant jewelry design, and this installation is a vibrant display of larger-than-life jellyfish woven from knitted and crocheted copper wire. Intricately crafted to mimic the fluid movement of the sea creatures, this shimmering collection invites you to marvel at the elaborate beauty of the underwater world.

This exhibition is part of the museum's grand reopening in its new facility, which expands the institution’s exhibition space by nearly 50 percent and features the museum’s first dedicated educational workshop and programming space. A non-collecting institution, the Museum of Craft and Design is one of North America’s few institutions dedicated to contemporary practices in craft and design.

Organized by the Racine Art Museum, Racine, Wisconsin.
