Cris Worley Fine Arts is thrilled to announce Simeen Farhat’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Word Play, opening June 29th, from 6pm - 8pm and continuing through August 3, 2013. Pakistani-born Farhat received her MFA from Texas Christian University in 2000, and currently lives and works in Texas. Farhat uses the characters of various texts to invent calligraphy-like abstract forms out of cast resin. She then entwines the resin piecesto create her amorphous sculptures.

For Word Play, Farhat has created several sculptures, including a large wall-based installation. This installation uses the words of her artist statement, which discusses her interest in “represent[ing] women’s inherent right to be expressive” and her process and intent as an artist. Other works incorporate text from email and text communication, a subject Farhat is intrigued by as the sender’s intention can be masked by the cold format of the phone or computer screen.
