Humaira Abid: Sculpture

Greg Kucera Gallery, Seattle, WA - May 7 – Jun 27

by Matthew Kangas

Following her acclaimed 2018 Bellevue Arts Museum exhibition, Humaira Abid continues her exploration of handmade “relics” related to immigration and refugees. Drawing upon efforts of studio artisans in her native Pakistan, the Renton, Wash., resident turns everyday objects into loaded symbolic sculptures. Besides installations, her new series, Tempting Eyes, addresses women in repressive Muslim societies learning how to drive. She has also exhibited in Malaysia, Kenya and Nepal.
