Beschreibung
At the heart of Hoda Tawakols work is a profound confrontation with identity, femininity and power. Inspired by the memories of her three mothersher mother, her grandmother, and her nannythe Egyptian-French artist (b. 1968) spins a narrative web of life and art with loss and recollection intersecting, while the complex interplay of individual and collective identity takes center stage. The body as an experiential focus is key for Tawakol; and her textile sculptures and installations refer to it both as a protective shield and as a surface for projection; they decipher the balance of power between the extremes of exposure and concealment. Some Ties Linger On is Hoda Tawakols first monograph; with numerous images and two accompanying essays, it offers a comprehensive overview of her artistic oeuvre to date.
