Folkstone Triennale

Work: No.1054 Arpeggio
Location: Folkstone, UK
Date: 2020-2021

Begum’s work connects the beach huts along Folkestone’s Marine Walk both with one another and with their surrounds, bringing a sense of movement and vitality to the promenade. Subtle colour gradients, applied to the sides of the huts, reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape and its abundance of natural light which continually shifts and changes from one season to the next. These subtle hues are juxtaposed with strong geometric forms, echoing the architectural symmetry and repetition of the huts themselves.
