Women's Lounge

Having spoken with a number of residents, Biswas was particularly interested in their recollections of the flora and fauna they had encountered in the myriad of places they had lived or visited during their lives and indeed in the domestic gardens they had, in some cases, personally tended to. In response, she created a lush, imaginary and scientifically impossible garden mural that houses foliage from these various climes around the world. Through this, she hoped to create a contemplative space and to bring the community’s wealth of experience of the vast outside world into the women’s quiet room at the Garnet Ward.
