Zarina Hashmi
(1937 - 2020)
"Black for me is ink. And creating for me is about understanding the heart of darkness in a world which is black and white." - ZARINA"Black for me is ink. And creating for me is about understanding the heart of darkness in a world which is black and white." - ZARINAHome is a Foreign Place. "Made during a particularly fraught period when the artist faced eviction from her Manhattan loft, the folios in this series are visual responses to words in her native Urdu that conjure multiple senses of home-from the areas of a physical space to the experience of weather in a particular place to the cosmic phenomena that mark the passage of time." (metmuseum. org, online) Thus, the six rows of prints, to be read from left to right (as one does Arabic or Urdu), represent abstracted memories of a specific time, location or event, as seen in lot 62-comprising of a set of two works titled Dew and Dawn - and lot 76-titled Duststorm .
