This artist works in installations. And her focus is one of my favorite things in the whole world: color!
This artist uses color associations to tell stories. Often, she plays on the dualities of the color's meanings. Irony is common. She uses the installation format itself as part of the storytelling often as well. The story adjusts as the viewer moves in and out throughout the installation based on changing assumptions and perceptions.
Her works often have political and social meaning as well. She is a Palestinian woman born in Lebanon and exiled to Great Britain. So, if anyone would have a lot to say about political and social issues, I imagine it would be her. And really her unique perspective adds a lot to her pieces.
I have to say globalization has done a lot for the development of contemporary art for sure.
