ARTIST STATEMENT
Nosheen’s work is an exploration of self-preservation and identity. Her Pakistani and Islamic background is rich in color, pattern and texture which play a dominant role in how she examines the aspects of tactility and optics. Expanding past the traditional boundaries of embroidery, she pushes the idea of duality using juxtaposed materials. Through the use of wood and thread on varying planes, she engages the viewer to look deeper into diverse perspectives.
