Roya Amigo: Absolutism and Sexuality; Keri Straka: Internal Blooming

Roya Amigh combines thread and paper to create hundreds of tiny drawings, Amigh stitches these together into evocative sculptural forms. Draped from the walls and suspended from the ceiling, their narratives focus on Iranian women’s social history and identity at the intersection of gender and sexuality.

Keri Straka’s ceramics is strongly influenced by organic forms and natural phenomena.  Her work is closely tied to biological processes of the human body. Oscillating between the skeletal architecture of bone and the petal soft terrain of flesh, the artist creates a subtle dance between external and internal space.
