Happy Birthday, Ann Hamilton! May your day be as delightfully immersive and captivatingly whimsical as "the event of a thread." We hope you swing joyously through another year filled with creativity, wonder, and perhaps fewer tangled threads than usual.

From the intricate textures of "lignum" to your mesmerizing multimedia installations that continue inspiring awe worldwide—your artistry remains timeless. Here's wishing you endless inspiration (and plenty more gallery-goers scratching their heads in delightful confusion). Keep weaving magic into our lives; after all these years you're still threading brilliance together like nobody else can!

Cheers to many more masterpieces ahead!
