The Length of Useful Textiles (2012 – 2013)
In these works, I explore issues specific to drinking water and development. I purchased the materials at Kuwait City markets, and completed the paintings in Canada. The impact of oil development and economics surrounding it, societal and the environmental, pervade my everyday life in Kuwait. I taught Art for 1 year in Kuwait City. The price of oil is multifaceted, glaring and subtle.
