ABOUT THE ARTWORK

New life grows inside of the womb of a mother and later born as a child; My creations are my children and they are growing outside of my body nourished by love and imagination. I would like to communicate with my unborn child, they are as real as the biological children I might have. My artworks are mainly autobiographical and I try to recreate those personal experiences through my art. In these two particular pieces I have used my own hair as a thread to stitch clothes to fashion baby dresses in order to give them an intimate touch. I have also used needles, the symbol of healer, used to create bond and my hairs, dead yet constantly growing hair to express the eternal cycle of life imbibed with love and promise. The constellations are drawn to acknowledge our place in vastness of universe. The moments we define as our life in continuum of time becomes significant as we weave our love around the people we care and the way we communicate our stories and made the fabric of life.

I am a Bangladeshi-born British interdisciplinary visual artist living and working in Canada. I organised many solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions in different countries. My work is autobiographical in nature. I use the unique signature of my body to explore my identity in time and place. I use my hair as a thread and my fingertips as brushes during this process. I imprint my emotions on different surfaces to express the inimitable chaos of my inner and outer worlds.
