Abdolreza Aminlari, Untitled (23.001), 2023
24 K gold thread on paper
76.5 × 56.5 × 2.5 inches

Abdolreza Aminlari utilizes an array of material techniques, incorporating bespoke paper making, hand-embroidery, and raku-fired ceramics in his approach to geometric abstraction. Aminlari practice explores ideas surrounding cultural production and the transnational diffusion of domestic and factory labor, seen through the lens of lived experience. The angular forms present throughout his works are based on recollections of the animals, symbols, and patterns in the Persian rugs of his childhood, but in their current state are meant to open onto multiple readings, outside of a singular culture or context. In emphasizing the unfixed and subjective aspects of personal memory, Aminilari’s “in-between shapes” speak to a larger diasporic experience and the nature of nostalgia itself.
