Ian Berry's Secret Garden, constructed entirely from recycled denim, showcases the innovative use of materials in textile art, emphasizing sustainability and creativity.

"It's a really special spot. When you start at the top and move down the gently sloped ramp, you almost feel like a marble tumbling down, looking at art as you roll by. The slight slant plays with your sense of perspective and grounding."

Travelling for art can be incredibly virtuous and culturally rewarding, like collecting souvenirs for your eyes (and from the post card rail in the gift shop).
