We
are born without an introduction, looking for our own identities.
Who
are “WE”
Where
do we ”Belong”
In
search of “Self”
My
works are an undying effort to understand myself, the people and the
surroundings which we live in.
The
journey though self–expression has lead to these works, the result of my recent
research of textiles, light, color value, movement and understanding of lines
and forms, trying to explore the human psyche.
My art is imbued with emotional
content that it articulates through a range of styles that evolve from the
semi-figurative to the abstract. The search for new forms of expression over
time has lead me to create my own vocabulary as an artist. My journey though
self -expression has moved on over the last few years from lively,
expressionistic drawings and in recent years was developed a form of Arabic
calligraphy through mono-print, expanding her boundaries.
For my new collection of woven
rugs, I broke away from previous paintings, which took me to a world of
Abstract Expressionism. It takes with the comforts of the forms I previously
used such as the circle and the square and has magnified their existence. A
more subtle approach is used, leaving the viewer to determine their own
feelings and experiences in relation to these new and often over whelming
paintings.
These works are the result of my
recent research and exploration of tools that have added a great dimension and
depth to my art. The visually stimulating bright colour’s
and the application of various mediums I has been researching, add a childlike
playfulness through light, colour
value, texture and movement.
My creative process has a deep
physical level. Exploring the compositional potential of color and form on the
human psyche. To be in the presence of the pulsing vibrancy of these enormous
textiles it is to feel, if only momentarily, something of the sublime
unconsciousness that has relentlessly sought to evoke.
I am not interested in making an
‘illustration’ of an experience but committed to using formal Weavers
vocabulary, relying on colour, shape, mark, and the surface.
