Situated in the atrium, the four wall hangings incorporate imagery that reflects the historical significance of the linen weaving industry in Belfast. Elements used in the production of linen-bobbins, cams, tappet wheels, jacquard cards, shafts, reed hooks, weave plans and flax are greatly magnified and combined in a series of subtle, abstracted layers. The dress shape here is in a positive format, comprising grids of bobbin ends and makes reference to the largely female workforce of the industry.
