Curator's Tour and Tea:Emma Talbot: How We Learn to Love
A large, colourful fabric sculpture or installation piece displayed in an ornate interior space. The sculpture features swirling, abstract patterns and shapes in vibrant hues of yellow, purple, and orange. It seems to be suspended from the ceiling and takes up a significant portion of the room. The background includes architectural elements like decorative columns and a chandelier, giving the impression of an elaborate, grand setting.
