The New Jersey Spider Man
14 Jan 2012
My daughter has a terrible fear of spiders, so I don’t think she would be very impressed by New Jersey native Rocky Fiore, a man who has found a way to collect beautiful spider webs and turn them into works of art, but I was. I was intrigued when I came across a headline in the news during the late summer about this, and decided to do a little exploring.
Rocky’s website, Whirled Wide Webs provides more information about what he is doing, as does the video below. For him, it is a form or art, and a source of income. He shares at his site that he gathered over 2000 specimens IN A YEAR that became works of art. Though others have tried to imitate his spider web art, it’s not an easy thing to do what he has mastered and made his trade.
