The artist will have approximately 18 pieces for the show including a selection of cut manuscript pages, collage and two mural sized paintings. The works bring together divergent places and times, in a hypothetical confluence of ancient traditions and the imagined future. Inspired by the delicacy and intricacy found in Persian manuscript illuminations and Islamic architecture, the artist employs the image and metaphor of the portal, the gateway into the next, or the future. The works are filtered and serene, resulting in a purified air of minimal forms.
The large paintings overlay figures from the past with contemporary silhouettes, creating a tracery of layers, a matrix through which one might open onto a new reality.
