ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Gold leaf (from 18 to 24ct) on cut paper, shell gold on paper dyed with indigo. For this piece, I drew down my own lived experience of wonder and awe, two distinct but intertwined feelings, into a form and materials that can evoke it visually. Though the design was shaped purely by crystallising a feeling, its components respond both to the wonders of Creation and to the awesomeness of the Mystery beyond, by bringing together abstract geometry and a stylised botanical motif. The integrity of the materials is very much part of the piece, featuring genuine gold and indigo dye; the extra labour they both require constitutes an offering.

Joumana Medlej
United Kingdom
I'm a British-Lebanese artist who moved from Beirut to East London about a decade ago. I'm best known for reviving archaic styles of Arabic calligraphy (the Kufi scripts) and the medieval art materials that accompany them. My work reflects my experience of the world as being alive with mystery. It invites the viewer to step into this forgotten space by holding them in wonder and stillness: in this vulnerable moment, when one is silenced by beauty and by not-knowing, remembrance can stir. To this end, the work takes on different shapes, from images of contemplation made up of unreadable words to multisensory interactive objects that tell an unspoken story.
