Afaf Zurayk and Amy Todman: Light Enters

Afaf Zurayk and Amy Todman both work with painting and poetry in a distinct yet complementary manner. While Zurayk works in abstraction, allowing only the merest hint of form to emerge from her minimal canvases, Todman's style is closer to figuration, a dreamscape enfolding elements of the real and the unreal tethered by the structure of three-dimensional space. Their practices meet in the feeling of their work and in the liminal space between word and image, speaking a language that seeks to move in the 'stillness of time.'
