The saree came from my younger sister — a hand-me-up. She is years behind me in age, and the garment still carries more cultural knowledge than I do, purely through where it came from and how it is decorated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI cut floral motifs out of that fabric, following the shapes already etched into it, and set the tiles at the intersections of the grid knowing paint would go over them. The texture never fully disappears, and that is the point. The past keeps surfacing in the present as insistently as the future does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe columbine is the flower of Scarborough, the place I learned to call home. Rendering it pink was deliberate. Scarborough was refuge and it was also where I was an outcast for being the artist kid. The flower grows over the soil of everything I have tried to erase, and its pink declares itself over a dark, timid version of me underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also text hidden in the surface. If you find it, it should do something to you in the moment you read it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\/\/\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1 of 1 original. No prints of this piece will be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work comes with a certificate of authenticity and currently sits in a white frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the only piece in the group painted on raw canvas rather than wood panel, which changes how it travels. Depending on your location, the canvas may need to be taken off the stretcher and rolled for shipping, then restretched and reframed by a framer near you. Where that applies, a $400 discount is taken off the price and the cost of restretching and reframing is the collector's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like additional images or to learn more about this piece before acquiring it, email me directly at nashid@nashidchroma.com. If you're located in Toronto, I'm happy to deliver the work and install it in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nashid Chroma","offers":[{"title":"33x44in (Framed)","offer_id":52805119377695,"sku":"RECURSIVE","price":26624.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/3567\/1407\/files\/nashid-chroma-original-33x44in-framed-recursive-aesthetics-recursive-1255700294.jpg?v=1787632421","url":"https:\/\/nashidchroma.com\/en-dk\/products\/recursive-aesthetics","provider":"Nashid Chroma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
