Islamic Artist, Susan Hefuna's "Rasm" – Of Wood, Silver And Gold
Posted on 02:07 by the great khali
ISLAMIC ART MAGAZINE
UNITED KINGDOM---This is Susan Hefuna’s second solo exhibition in London and features a selection of her most recent work, including gold-plated brass drawings, silvered-bronze wall sculptures and her signature latticework wooden screens (or mashrabiyas). In Arabic rasm means ‘drawing’, ‘outline’ or ‘pattern’ but can also mean ‘formality’, ‘legend’, ‘record’, ‘ceremony’, ‘policy’ or simply ‘design’. Hefuna plays with the several connotations of the term, taking words and phrases from everyday life and incorporating them into her works in metal or wood. Each material and technique she employs brings its own tensions, giving form to ordinary letters within an architectural space. The words and phrases suggest poetic images and ideas that can be interpreted in several ways, opening the viewer to their own imagination and fantasies. [link]
