Moody Centre for the Arts

Work: No.1187 & No.1193 Mesh
Location: Rice University, Houston, USA
Date: 2022

No.1187 Mesh and No.1193 Mesh are located in front of the Moody’s entrance and next to the Rice School of Architecture, Anderson Hall. They consist of locally sourced, powder-coated, industrial steel mesh units. The works emerge from combining and stacking modular units into two large assemblies. With vivid colours and unexpected forms, No.1187 Mesh and No. 1193 Mesh activate the adjacent architecture and surroundings. Begum’s work allows for physical interaction, as visitors can walk through and around the towering structure, prompting questions about our place within the built environment.
