About The Artwork
Exploring the the vast symbolism and possibilities born of juxtaposing a practical object and its relationship to the human form, Lamia Fakhoury in collaboration with Reem Mouasher created this collection of Steel & Cast-Iron sculptures that is playful in its execution and impressive in its masterful simplicity. Ladders take on varied contextual significance in this collection, as positioned in relation to an androgynous human figure immediately evoke hugely different characters and situations. Ladders can be surreal links to another world, symbols of social mobility, tools of labor, or impediments in and of themselves as in the colloquial saying, “carrying a ladder lengthwise”. A strict purist, Fakhoury insists on designing, moulding, casting, pouring, cleaning, and finishing each piece herself— a true feat, as she is one of the only sculptors in the world to manually complete her entire process from start to finish. The process was born out of necessity in an environment where outsourcing the labor was not an option. Seen in this light, the sculptures reflect and refract different elements of her process and personality— from fantasy to frustration, playfulness and profundity.

Jordan
« I am inspired by a conscious decision to live life in playing mode, with lightness, in the hope to also share that lightness with others as they experience my sculptures. » Lamia Fakhoury is an experienced sculptor based in Jordan whose works have been exhibited nationally. Lamia is Jordanian sculptors who experiments with a range of different materials, while pushing the medium’s possibilities beyond what’s been done and what comes easy. Her sculptures are inspired by themes rich in playfulness and whimsy reflecting the joy she has found in sculpting. The themes celebrate friendship and sisterhood of Jordanian women, different but very much the same, playing while supporting one another with lightness. Her artwork is produced locally, cast in Jordanian foundries, and always in one edition. #sculptureart #figurativeartist #sculptor #amman
