| This is NOT a Refuge 1, 2019 - lasercut, resin coated aluminum and lightbulb, 8 x 6 x 4 feet |
In a new show at the
Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas, Anila Quayyum Agha exhibits her newest series of large scale works.
Anila Quayyum Agha: Itinerant Shadows opened on Saturday, February 9, 2019, and features multiple laser-cut steel sculptural installations as well as a series of embroidered, cut, and layered works on paper. As a Pakistani-American artist who currently lives and works in Indianapolis, Agha’s work explores the intersection of perceived cultural and social polarities such as the masculine-feminine, public-private, and religious-secular.
Anila Quayyum Agha's recontextualization of Islamic geometric motifs creates a quiet space of contemplation and earned her the
Alpha & Omega Prize for Contemporary Religious Artfor her “Intersections” sculpture in 2014.
