Ayan Farah @ Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

Maps, is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Ayan Farah, whose work records the physical and ephemeral traces of particular geographical locations. The artist treats swatches of fabric with minerals and natural pigments sourced from around the world before stitching them together and stretching them as one, multi-faceted piece.  For this exhibition, the artist made a series of paintings, in which she has re-purposed domestic linen and jute from nineteenth and twentieth century homes, dying the materials using clay mixed with marigold and indigo.
