Commissioned for Actions. The image of the world can be different, an exhibition consisting of thirty-eight artists which marked the opening of the new Kettle’s Yard. Begum contributed a site specific work made from almost 1000 bamboo baskets, hand woven in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was installed inside St Peter’s Church in a wave like structure under the roof and encourages the viewer to walk beneath them as the structure of the church is absorbed by the undulating form of the installation.
