In her work, Textile Artist Caroline Bartlett explores the historical, social and cultural associations of textiles and their ability to trigger a memory. I became increasingly interested in what her art pieces say through their materiality, tactility and associations with the body. Hence, my intention was to emphasize these qualities by designing this glass box floating on the water and by creating a double skin facade system that diffuses the sunlight and the reflection of light by the water in the textured concrete walls of such intimate exhibition spaces.
