Statement:

''Interwoven Narratives" is a deeply personal and introspective journey into the life and artistic expression of Maliheh Zafarnezhad.

The exhibition showcases a carefully curated selection of her recent works inspired from pivotal moments that have shaped her identity and artistic vision. Through these evocative pieces, Maliheh weaves a tapestry of emotions, inviting viewers to explore their own stories and experiences while forging a profound connection with her art.///

At the heart of "Interwoven Narratives" lie the artist's childhood memories, immigration, and the cultural shift that ensued from moving between Iran, Ireland, and the UK. Each artwork serves as a window into her unique experiences, painted with a fusion of colours, textures, and symbolism that embody the essence of her journey.

The main resource for this compelling body of work is the artist's personal archive of family albums. Maliheh delves into the realm of nostalgia, extracting emotions from old, cherished photographs.

These images serve as both a poignant reminder of the past and a foundation for constructing narratives that resonate with audiences from all walks of life.

The exhibition also features a series of works where Maliheh plays with the form of the photograph, utilizing wood blocks to add a three-dimensional element and a fresh perspective to the images. These wooden structures, inspired by leftover wood pieces from the renowned Marshall company in Milton Keynes, bring depth and dimension to the photographs, giving viewers an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional two-dimensional art.
