Conversations of Rust and Fabric - installation/ mixed media

May 2013

" The Conversation " is a collaborative piece done by Leon D. and Tamadhar for a group exhibition, where they both decided to translate materials thought to reflect Bahrain. The Piece began having the artists finding and translating these materials, weaved palm tree leaf and rusty saw blade, into derivatives of words linked to their personal experiences and thoughts then illustrated over collage of old pictures of Bahrain as a foundation for the changing conversation. The piece has a film which shows how the artists had that conversation illustrated together silently with rather random imaginations and possibilities of the past, current and future.
