ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By
Gregory &
Ernest Disney-Britton
In an installation,
opening on Friday night, a light will emanate from the center of a five-foot cube and envelope visitors in beautiful floral and geometric motifs that create a newly sacred space. In "All the Flowers are for Me-Red," artist
Anila Quayyum Agha explores the complexity of "love, loss, and gains," during a year when her mother was buried, and her son was married. "This interplay of the nuptial and the funeral invites us to cherish our losses," wrote Anila in her
artist statement, "more so because they are intrinsically connected to life’s most beautiful moments such as holding a hand that may soon be no more." The red lacquered steel cube with a halogen bulb was recently acquired by the Cincinnati Art Museum for their permanent collection.
