Statement for exhibition at Queen Gallery (Toronto – Canada, 2010): This exhibition showcases all new artwork that I have made since I have left Iran. All of the work has been made in the short period (about five months) since I have been here. This work was inspired by my reflections, often in my bed, as I am drifting off to sleep, on my memories and the mystery of the future. I don’t know what the future holds for me and as I lay there thinking about it, I draw. Because I have suddenly found myself in Canada, in completely different circumstances, I feel like I am suspended between hope and anxiety >>> mantegh.com
