Runs: March 22nd to 26th, 2013
Reception: March 23, 8PM to 11PM
Artist statement:
My work involves fusing the artistic forms of Persian miniature painting and surrealism into a dream-like contemporary narrative in vivid colour. The work references theory in cultural hybridity, particularly the idea of the ambivalent nature of the “third space”.
