I am currently an Artist in Residence at the Fire Station Museum in Doha.
I would love to discuss any ideas you have for projects, big or small.
I hand carve wood and linoleum to make hand pressed prints.
I create my canvases with old clothing. I cut apart cargo khaki pants and work shirts, sewing them back together before stretching them over irregularly made wooden frames. I love the texture; the belt loops, buttons, seams, and zippers. I especially love seeing the skeleton of the frame pushing through the fabric. And there is something to be said for making something beautiful out of someone else's garbage.
I live in Doha, Qatar.
