WAKE
Indigo on washi. 25x?cmThis is a work in progress, barely begun, but mostly an act of vigil and remembrance.
31,500 killed in Gaza so far: When numbers become so large they lose all meaning, how do you remain awake to the scale of the slaughter and the personhood of the victims? I needed to have them in front of my eyes. So I began to write: one letter per soul torn from life — man, woman or child.

Note about the text and script: This is the Arabic translation as used in the Coptic Bible today. The script is based on a 9th c. sample loosely called "Christian Kufi", found in the earliest dated Arabic biblical manuscripts. I've slightly formalised it for this.

New post for lovers of writing systems: The Story of Kaf, forgotten metamorphosis of an Arabic letter.

It's not too late to sign up to my #SquareKufic class, which kicks off Friday on Zoom and doesn't require prior knowledge of Arabic. Based on the tradition as it flourished in #Khorasan between the 13th and 16th centuries, we'll learn to work with multiple grids and how to get creative with the script without breaking it.
Details and sign up here:

This is happening tonight:
"Avielah Barclay and Joumana Medlej are both deeply engaged in the Art of the Book…
Their practical skills, as well as extensive knowledge of historical texts, offer unique glimpses into this traditional art. The evening’s presentation will touch on the global nature of the medieval world, the dynamic exchange among scribal cultures, and how their own work is a living extension of this ancient tradition…"#ArabicCalligraphy #HebrewCalligraphy

The SOAS show is an opportunity to have a throwback to older pieces such as SHADOWS, 2014:
This composition first appears to be a take on traditional blessings: health, happiness… Yet something dark looms behind the bright hues. Closer scrutiny reveals, behind the cheerful facade, dark words in another register: greed, violence, pain…
So do we learn to cover up our inner darkness, the socially unacceptable parts of ourselves, and paint it over in order to fit in.

A blast from the past with this piece I finished just over 7 years ago. Aflāk/Heavenly Spheres was the most labour-intensive wall piece I ever made. It's a calligraphic interpretation of the medieval geocentric cosmos, from the 4 elements ranging to the unknowable divine Throne, using materials that were associated with each sphere. A reminder perhaps that there are vaster things to contemplate than human pettiness.
