| EPHEMERAL WEBS IN PUBLIC PLACES

    Titled "Arachne Weaves Her Web", this imaginative low tech installation by Debbie Apple-Presser is testing viewers.      Spun between two old oak trees in a little park which sits in the middle of the Horseshoe Lake in Shaker Heights, the web is exposed to everyone.    What will it catch?  Fragile, sparkling - will someone be enticed to sweep the cobweb away?       The vulnerability of the installation puts the manners of visitors on show.     Will some juvenile “moth” ride through it on a bike at dusk tonight?     Webs are said to be stronger than steel – can the civic space resist testing its brute strength?
