Interspersed throughout this notebook’s blank pages are works by Iranian artist Marjan Nemati. Born in Tehran, Nemati seeks to engage the collective memory of her audience through her practice, which includes painting, drawing, printmaking, and illustration. She focuses on reviving the sense of belonging to a unified history through iconic and everyday architecture in her home city. Nemati raises awareness of the constant demolishing of history and division of generations that too often occurs in contemporary times. The artist’s technique of scraped textured surfaces and use of high-contrast blacks accentuate the expressionist influences in her many images of buildings.
