Fadumo . 2024
Ayan Farah’s paintings are repositories of space and time. Presenting her first solo exhibition in Berlin, Farah created the new artworks on show guided by their medium: pigments sourced from natural materials like Senegalese indigo, rust from a contaminated site or homegrown marigold that through a complex process visually manifest themselves on antique linen and hemp.Engaging with the agency of natural materials holding history and memory, especially the contrast between the inherent geopolitics and domesticity of textiles marks the artist’s work.
