This sculptural tapestry is created by the Seattle-based, Iranian artist Azadeh Gholizadeh (she/her). Gholizadeh's needlepoint compositions draw on modernist grids, digital perspectives, the history of female-centric fiber art techniques, and the design of Persian manuscripts, gardens and mosques. In this body of work, Gholizadeh conceives the relationship of landscape to memory in a manner described by Simon Schama as “a way of looking; of rediscovering what we already have… instead of being yet another explanation of what we have we have lost, it is an exploration of what we may find.”
“The Bay” is inspired by the artist’s views of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe.
