Objects Are Closer Than They Appear: Roya Amigh
Artist Talk and Reception
Thursday, September 6, 2018 at 5:00PM

Hollister Gallery
231 Forest Street
Wellesley, MA 02457
Sorenson Center for the Arts


As a child, Roya Amigh would listen to her uncle tell stories of Persian Mythology. That oral storytelling tradition, evolving and changing with each teller’s memory and imagination, is the non-linear architecture onto which the artist has built her drawing based installations. Amigh’s drawings, made by gluing cut pieces of thread and fabric onto handmade paper, integrate imagery from Persian miniatures with the stories of Iranian women’s experiences. The artist works to reveal suspended moments of memory in order to discern the uncertain border between meditation and rumination. Border and “in-between” spaces are alluded to through intentionally visible gaps between the drawings as they are threaded together to create these ensemble works. Free and open to the public.
