Home Inside Out
27 Mar - 18 May 2019 Safaa Erruas's work explores ideas of the body and borders through the meditative abstraction of visceral objects. In order to navigate notions of visibility and multiplicity through materiality, the artist often contrasts distinct sensibilities, materials, and textures. Senses of fragility and softness (cotton, paper, skin) can be found in tension with moments of resistance and sharpness (needles, wire, glass). Through the use of these highly personal and tactile materials, Erruas has developed a strong visual language whereby a process of ritual, repetition, and fragmentation creates minimalist yet loaded poetic gestures. The physical and conceptual aesthetics of the colour white, transparency, and silence serve as a foundation for Erruas’s work to communicate clashing ideas of fragility and violence alongside life and death, all at once subtle and strong.
