Voices Merge 1993 - 2000
Naiza Khan’s project Voices Merge explores ideas around the physicality of the body – the form, but also its subjectivity. She explores the complexity of life through the female body, pushing the materiality of charcoal and exploring the tension of a line in drawings, paintings, latex works, and silk works.
Responding to the self-immolation of two women in Hyderabad in September 1996, Khan created an artist book entitled Hair Falls As Night. Influenced by Urdu poetry, Khan uses hair and the relationship of text and image in her artist book to create a space in which the artist can consider complex ideas in an intimate space for critical reflection.
