Image Dimensions: 47 x 34.5 cm
Edition of 40
Framed/unframed
Mary Yacoob is an artist based in North London. Drawing is central to her practice. Her chosen media include ink on paper, printmaking, large scale vinyl artworks, light boxes and video. Mary appropriates the visual languages of architectural plans, cartography, electrical and engineering schematics, alphabetical systems, and musical notation. Her working method involves the researching of primary visual source material, which is then re-deployed and transfigured. She investigates how taking diagrams out of their original context and reinterpreting them can transform functionals tools into mysterious, architectural, spatial or monumental cyphers for the imagination that create new connections across the arts and sciences. She explores how different colours, materials, scales, compositions and textures can contribute to the meanings we project onto the visual representations of ideas. Her works seek to convey how embodied and aesthetic relationships with diagrams can catalyze fruitful chains of associative thought. The hand-made gesture, repetition, rhythm, and systems employing order and chance, are all key aspects of Mary’s practice. Her work encourages an intimate relationship with the viewing public. Spatial forms unfold in time, revealing an intricate depth of detail.
