Babylon, the hanging gardens, the lost world wonder, captured in Gallery 1313’s Window Box Gallery and placed on display. The Window Box Gallery frames a glimpse of the hanging garden, isolated from the rest as if pieces were taken out of context and put on display.
The knotted pods hang to the viewers content as a re-creation of parts of the garden to evoke feeling, to remember and to imagine what it would have felt like to experience this world wonder. Babylon uses textile manipulation through crochet and knotting techniques to form the primal feeling of nature in texture and form.
