Works on paper
By Roshan Houshmand
July 11, 2003
The Iranian
The most significant aspect
of making art, for me, is the unique fulfillment of psychic,
spiritual and emotional needs.
I work predominantly in mixed media, intuitively and repetitively
layering, cutting, sorting, and folding selected materials;
an automatic reflex based on desire, need, and the awareness
of one situation's response to another.
The intimacy provided by
the sense of touch is revealed in the emphasis on texture,
as bare hands are my tools of preference. I use fabric, paper,
pigment, organic material, photos, texture, smell, found objects
and broken bits of stuff, which resonate with a sense of history,
nature, time and place.
As an Iranian/American having
been raised in the Philippines and Iran; and having spent the
majority of my artistic life in Spain and the US, I connect
to the diverse patterns of culture in search for a universal
truth.
