Zarina: Paper Like Skin

Nov 07, 2012

In conjunction with the exhibition Zarina: Paper Like Skin (2012).

Zarina: Paper Like Skin is the first retrospective of the Indian-born American artist Zarina, featuring approximately 60 works dating from 1961 to the present. Paper is central to Zarina's practice, both as a surface to print on and as a material with its own properties and history. Works in the exhibition include woodcuts as well as three-dimensional casts in paper pulp. Zarina's vocabulary is minimal yet rich in associations with her life and the themes of displacement and exile. The concept of homewhether personal, geographic, national, spiritual, or familialresonates throughout her oeuvre.
