Maryam Hoseini explores the subtle relationship between bodies, physical space, and the politics of narrative. Utilizing painting and site-specific installation to address the gap between subjective perception and public perception of identity, Hoseini’s work investigates the space between painting and drawing, figuration and abstraction, creating a sense of openness for multiple readings and interpretations. Through an exploration of the constructed tragedy of same-gendered intimacy, Hoseini develops sequential collective chapters of drama.
