Exhibition Statement (provided by the artist)
Stations is a new series of collages that responds to archaeological remnants encountered in the stark landscape of rural Ireland. By translating the imagery of inscribed stone fragments into anthropomorphic forms, these works meditate on traces left behind by monks, pilgrims and other wayfarers who have passed through remote places.
About the Artist (provided by the artist)
Alyssa Pheobus Mumtaz is an artist and educator best known for her diverse drawing practice, which incorporates elements of painting, hand-papermaking, collage and textile design. Moving fluidly between symbolic abstraction and representational allusion, many of her recent projects take inspiration from cultural artifacts that reflect systems of belief.
