SUMMARY:Hadieh Shafie: Resonant Turns
DESCRIPTION:Hadieh Shafie uses ink\, paint and paper as material for works that abstract text into form\, evoking different optical perspectives; her reliefs comprise circular or cone-shaped scrolls inscribed with Farsi poetry and her own writing in acts of concealment\, fragmentation and distortion. Her visual language\, a form of mark-making\, is multi-layered and arises from a profound understanding of words as an energetic charge\, colour as emotion\, and repetition as a kind of spiritual practice. To 21 April. \nAbove: Hadieh Shafie\, Saayeha Phalo Blue (2023)
