Ann Hamilton created art that was very gentle and soft. All of her work focuses around writing and its similarities with thread and cloth. The installation at the Guggenheim Museum works very well with the architecture as the "carriage" moves in a fluid motion along the spiralling track, clinging with the bells and chimes that hang from it, as it brings unbound books from the top of the museum to the bottom floor one after another. The line of the track almost resembles a piece of thread or a line from a pen. There is a connection between thread and words and how they are the components that make up an entire work and depend upon one another; whether it be making fabric or writing a book. This is a theme that is resonant through all of her work.
