In this continuing series of painting works on newspaper under the title Hang I have explored a similar visual language, depicting body parts and flesh through a distinctively ‘meaty’ palette. This series focuses on an ‘outer world’ of bitter news and violent events which is part of the everyday reality of life in a country in conflict. In Hang series meat-like forms were painted onto found newspaper spreads collected from different countries that mostly show news about Afghan and Middle-Eastern issues in different languages. The choice of newspaper as support seeks to reflect the situation in Afghanistan (and elsewhere) and the journalism that reports it.
