A Color Of Their Own
The philosopher Socrates spent his last hours sharing an extraordinary vision of the cosmos with his closest friends. At the same time, with his characteristic humility, he also pointed out that no sensible person should ever believe his story. It was an incantation, he said, worth the risk of repeating, especially at the time.
The very hollows of the earth, full of water and air, gleaming among the variety of other colors, present a color of their own, so the the whole is seen as a continuum of variegated colors.
Socrates, Plato's Phaedo
The visualization of information is a beautiful process, one that harnesses our longing to communicate, and draws out of it colors and patterns that reveal the structure of our thinking and the nature of the world around us.
These artworks, sketches, and textiles are visualizations that relate the harmonic patterns of music with the information in false color images, including the palettes of deep space telescope composites, topographical maps, satellite images, weather radar, infrared sensors, and many other ways we use color to learn and share the truth.

I think that adding an eye to a carpet tacking strip would work better than a dowel, it is a traditional way to hang them and the tacks face the carpet and distribute the weight.
