Halima
Cassell
Halima
has traditionally worked in clay, fusing together
her Asian roots with western, African pattern and architectural
geometry. She chooses to celebrate each of these elements in their
own right and from this, she is able to create a new and unique
style, which absorbs and addresses the rich diversity. Her pieces
utilise lines and angles, capturing the universal language of
pattern, number and form. Her recent work involves working with
different forms of media such as stone and wood as well exploring
new spaces in an urban architectural environment, which has always
been one of the elements of her inspiration.

Zarah
Hussain
Zarah
explores the use of geometric form and pattern
inspired by the Islamic art tradition. In the past, her work has
taken the form of both paintings and technologically advanced
light installations. Her recent work operates on several different
levels, devotional beauty through repetition and pattern, an esoteric
or Sufi understanding of the Muslim faith in modern times.
