Using the large space of the gallery, Paola is looking to create an unconventional portrait of Baku using several elements which relate to traditional local fabrics as well as to architectural features of the city.
The title of the exhibition describes the approach she has used in Baku: she looked for local fibres, including wool, closely linked to the cultural origins and identity of Azerbaijan.
As her ideas developed and evolved during her time in Baku, so too these aerial sculptures took shape in her imagination and then in reality.
‘The Fibres of Baku’ is an exploratory portrait that honours Paola’s personal cultural experience and the people she has met in this town.
