Anila Quayyum Agha: Interwoven - Anila Agha

Descriere Anila Quayyum Agha: Interwoven - Anila Agha

\nUntangling the conceptual threads that unite a distinguished artist's two- and three-dimensional artworks\n \nSpanning two decades of the multifaceted work of Pakistani American visual artist Anila Quayyum Agha (born 1965), Interwoven documents immersive installations, embroidery, drawings, paintings and wall sculptures. Such visual gateways, the patterns used to break patterns, as the New York Times put it in a recent profile on the artist, poetically convey the contradictions and layered dimensions of the American journey. Whether immersive rooms of light or delicate, intimate drawings, Agha's works prompt feelings of wonder, disarming audiences with their beauty and allowing them to ponder deep questions regarding themes such as the history of women, the role of spirituality and the immigrant experience. The book includes essays that explore Agha's work through the lenses of biography, feminism and art and architectural history. \n \nThis book was published in conjunction with The Westmoreland Museum of American Art\n
