Araam: Breathing Space
Sculptures by Halima Cassell and paintings by Zarah Hussain
16 January - 27 February 2010
Araam at the turnpike gallery
Breathing Space features the work of two
exceptional young artists, Halima Cassell and Zarah Hussain. Cassell
works with clay, and more recently with stone and wood. She produces
complex sculptural pieces that fuse together diverse cultural influences
from her Asian roots and her fascination with African pattern work, to
Islamic architectural geometry. Hussain's paintings and animations are
influenced by the profound beauty of Islamic geometry. Her delicately
painted oils and watercolours, rendered in jewel-like colours, are a
contemporary presentation of this ancient form of artistic expression.
The exhibition will include existing works and work in progress, giving
an insight into each artist's creative process.
Breathing Space has been initiated by
Shisha, the international agency for contemporary South Asian crafts and
visual arts, in partnership with Mid Pennine Arts, Burnley.

work please see
