The body of work for Transmission | Serayat alludes to anonymous or unrevealed female labour. Hundreds of knotted threads gather and form an anatomical overtone, a dead worker bee that has exhausted its life in the production of honey hovers again, as the viewer finds perspective. Found European textiles display carefully stitched and crafted geometric borders.
Bodies of clay and corporeality.
The interest in geometric borders and tiles began with a virtual Vayu Residency in Kashan (2022). Famed for its medieval tiles, I responded to the early ceramic technology’s not-yet-perfected aspect, where bleeding and smudging across shaped or drawn boundaries sometimes occurred. The work has also developed from spending studio time in in a disused brothel in Stuttgart’s redlight district, where age-old forms of female labour permeate the space and also suggested fluidity and smudging across corporeal boundaries.
Shifting perspectives
Objects that are manufactured to be functional with piercings are stitched in imperfect geometric patterns with transgressed boundaries of trailing threads. Glass objects distort perspective, relocating geometric borders or stirring a dead bee to life and incorporating the viewer into the reflective scene.
