Linder: Bower of Bliss Scarf
£160.00
Regular price £96.00This scarf features a detail of Linder’s commission Bower of Bliss (2021).
For Liverpool Biennial 2021, Linder was commissioned to produce a street-level billboard Bower of Bliss (2021) within Liverpool ONE. The centuries old phrase “Bower of Bliss” has been used across literature to signify the birthplace and point of origin. For the poet Edmund Spenser, it meant “womb”. For Linder, the connotations link back to her experience of being carried in her mother’s womb in Liverpool in 1954. Her billboard commission presented the “Bower of Bliss” as a safe space, something that is needed now more than ever. The photomontage was made up of images from Liverpool archives and also from Linder’s own collection.
The edition is made using a blend of 45% Viscose and 55% Spun Rayon which are both created with sustainable organic substances and act as an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional silk. The company that produced the scarf carry out Oeko-Tex, Bluesign and GOTS testing on their inks and fabrics to ensure they are safe for customers and the environment.
The accompanying embossed presentation box has been made with 99% recycled paper.
Scarf size: 85 x 85 cm.
