What does one million look like? How about a trillion? Why should we even care?
The Million Bead Project is a collaboration between artist Jeanne Leffingwell and 22 schools and learning groups in Idaho and the Northwest. For more than two years, over 2400 students have been designing, beading and keeping track of their progress on the way to weaving one million beads. This unprecedented project helps us consider our place in an increasingly complex world where large numbers bombard us from everywhere. But we have little concept of what they actually mean.
The collective efforts, in the form of one interconnected and fascinating mosaic, will be on display from May 18 through July 14, 2007 at the University of Idaho Prichard Art Gallery in downtown Moscow.
