Statement about AOAP Submitted Artworks 

As a female artist and a member of the Iranian diaspora my practice is infused with my experience of liminal space and hybrid identity, and its associated uncertainty. There is a constant questioning at the core of my practice. My multifaceted layers, interweaving diverse motifs and complex surfaces, depict the state of constantly existing between two spaces; between the known and unknown; the pleasant, and unpleasant; the West and the East and how sometimes these intersect and become intertwined.  

Use of geometry and grids is my way of making sense of my surroundings and creating a sense of rationality. However, my forms are not perfect. There is always erasure and this is when containers and grids fail and lose their ability to confine, or to keep safe. Geometry has become a form that leaks; and the notion of completeness becomes a subjective experience. 

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do. Anyone found doing so will be subject to legal action.
