Oct 25 - Dec 2, 2022: The traveling group exhibition 'Geometric Aljamia' with Reni Gower, Jorge Benitez (curators) and other artists is on display again in its 15th venue: The Gallery at Penn College, 2245 Reach Road, Williamsport, PA
It began in 2013 as the result of a conference workshop in Doha, at the Virginia Commonwealth University Qatar campus.
About the exhibit: The papercut installations use sacred geometry to blend subtle
imperfection with structured repetition. Wall tracings and motifs are
inspired by Islamic tilework, Koran Illumination Tehzip patterns in the
Ottoman style, or Islamic miniatures attributed to the Behzad School of
Illumination. In the drawings, linear perspective is employed as a
metaphor for Western Civilization. The shared artistic and intellectual
interests of these six artists speak to the larger hybrid relationship
that the West shares with the Middle East, and especially with the
Golden Age of Islamic Civilization.
June, 2020: I am delighted to have a small gouache painting included in:
