In Little Packages of Incomprehensible Things, Isha Naguiat continues her explorations in mixed media, this time evoking ruminations on the self and the anxieties that color its interactions with others. To behold her work is always to take into account the interplay of the transferred image, the embroidered texts, and the forms of the fabrics.
Isha Naguiat continues her explorations in mixed media, this time evoking ruminations on the self and the anxieties that color its interactions with others. To behold her work is always to take into account the interplay of the transferred image, the embroidered texts, and the forms of the fabrics. Due to the nature of these materials, her pieces often employ layering, suffused as they are with gentle translucencies and occlusions. It is a sensibility that serves well to investigate the personal and relational. Conjuring internal aspects glimpsed yet unrevealed– either by choice or circumstance– and the subsequent difficulties in communion that such situations bring about.
For this exhibition, Isha Naguiat embroiders her thoughts and words across her pictures. In one set of works, only the backside of the embroidered texts are viewable– a double act of occlusion of both self-image and speech as if both were immune to transmission.
