WHEN ALBORZ WILL MELT, 2018

  • Medium: Woodcut print on paper
  • Size: 101,6 x 122cm

Created for India Art Fair 2018, this body of work was inspired by Tehran and the Alborz mountains that run through the Khorasan region of Iran, the land of her ancestors. This body of work was conceived during her time at the Kooskh artist residency in Tehran. She juxtapo-ses the tumultuous history of Tehran and the youth’s troubled relationship to their history with the enduring sturdiness of the mountains to comment on the tenacity of the human spirit.

THE ARTIST: SOGHRA KHURASANI

Soghra Khurasani works primarily within the medium of print making. Her woodblock prints express her contemplation of the female body as a sight of both violence and fecundity, which she expresses through the metaphor of landscapes.
