seraglio



this is a piece that i have created that is made from woven pellon that has been sewn together to provide a backdrop for the wrapped elements that form an intricate pattern much like the carved stone windows found throught the middle east-- the wrapped element extends from either side of the woven strips to join together as one and end capped with a wooden spool -- it is the window to the hidden world of the seraglio or harem in the sultan's palace - i have included a detail as well as a full view
