Shah Noor Shafqat: Intimate Gravity

Shah Noor Shafqat’s installation, Intimate Gravity, incorporates abstract paintings with paintings of her child to be in utero that explores the feelings of a mother, the artist, coping with the passing on of a genetic condition. When her daughter was born with a severe genetic eczema, Shafqat turned to her art practice to cope with the challenges this disease caused her family. Each abstract disc uses paint and embroidery to recreate the sensation of human skin.
