Glass AiR, UCA

I am the UCA Glass Air 2023-24 where I am developing a new body of sculptural work. Coming into this position just two weeks after my Corning Museum of Glass scholarship has given me the unique opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of solid and hollow sculpting techniques.

Corning Museum of Glass

After a yearlong endeavour to gain my American visitor VISA, due to my Iranian heritage, I have been awarded a scholarship to attend Martin Jankey’s sculpting course at the Corning Museum of Glass.

I am incredibly grateful for Corning’s support in getting me to this course.

WIP

Wetherby Gardens, Chelsea, London.

Royal Collage of Art Ceramics & Glass MA2 group show. Hosted by the generous Preston Fitzgerald as part of his 11th annual RCA Ceramics & Glass exhibition.

Having resolved my ‘Intimacy22’ project I was able to show the documentation of the performances and interactions with the Intimacy vessels over 2022. More people interacted to kiss through the vessels at this show, once I went first others felt comfortable.

Intimacy22 NYE

New Years Eave 2022 saw the final live performance of ‘Intimacy22’ where I organised a large house party with the community I live with and brought out six intimacy vessels. people kissed all night, through the midnight count and into 2023.

I’ve collated the documentation of the ‘Intimacy22’ performances into a book showing the interactions with the vessels through this year.

Preface

Pumphouse gallery, Battersea, London.

Royal Collage of Art Ceramics & Glass MA1 WIP show. Together with my cohort we self organised an exterior show to exhibit our yearlong efforts, with resolved pieces and works in progress on show.

I took this opportunity to show my ‘Intimacy22’ project. This spring was a return to socialising after being fully released from social restrictions, it made the perfect platform for interaction with the Intimacy vessels.

Magnificenses

Amersham Arms, New Cross, London.

I entered a group performance event with the communal drinking vessel to perform ‘Reclamations’ in a public space. This performance offers the audience a drink from a communal glass inspired by a Bohemian era vessel.

This performance came as we were being slowly released from lockdowns in 2021 and were in the “socially distanced”. Some audience members were wearing mask, which they removed to drink from the vessel before putting the mask back on.

Collaboration with underground collective Somnus, creating a live sensory art and music event. We saw two vortex appear that night, one behind the DJ, and another in a tunnel further down the event, with Aria sitting at the other end

Somnus: X - Zone

Collaboration with underground collective Somnus, creating a live sensory art and music event. We saw a vortex appear that night, behind the DJ, people lost their minds, becoming their bass self, absorbed by the light… none of them were seen again.

Lumen: Through the Looking Glass.

Exhibiting with Lumen at Ugly Duck London, in this show we presented works that contemplate the perspectives on the world around us, examining our sensorial approach to understanding our world and the mysteries of space. I used two of my paintings from the Untitled series, and an experimental light rig to exaggerate and highlight the colour theory in the paintings.

Lumen: Lunar

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of humans landing on the moon, Lumen hosted a selection of artworks based on the ideas of astral travel and exterior planets. I presented a new VRTX made especially for this occasion, as well as a plaster cast of the moons surface, made using production methods used in ‘2001: A Space Odessy’ that i had previously made in reaction to visiting the Stanley Kubric archive at University for the Arts London (UAL)

Art No.23 - Dreams

Based on the lucid concept of Dreams, for this exhibit I blacked out a room and used a single levitated light piece to fill the area with changing colour. This was a great experience to experiment with an empty space, at the Biscuit factory, Bermondsey, London.

Saatchi Arts - The Other Art Fair.

Participating in Saatchi Arts Other Art Fair Bristol edition. I had my own stall exhibiting drawings, paintings, and light installations made over the past year. I started typing Sol Lewitt’s sentences on conceptual art and handing them to people, to use to decipher some of the more cryptic works at the fair, and get a deeper appreciation for my own artwork.

Lumen - Cosmic Perspectives

Group show curated by Lumen London, contemplating perspectives of earth from space. I created a RGB triptych drawing of the south pole shrinking entitled ‘Our Time’.
