The COFA Annual 2013

Naaz's cross-disciplinary body of work explores the notion of the expanded field of painting, challenging the convention of painting one side of a flat plane of stretched primed canvas by creating numerous incisions in a loose canvas (extending Lucio Fontana's cutting methodology) and then physically manipulating the canvas to create new sculptural forms; pigment is added to both sides either prior to or following the formation of the three-dimensional pieces. Works are hung or attached to walls and plinths to facilitate a more interactive viewer experience than the singular viewpoint of traditional painting.
