Author: Agha, AnilaSpanning two decades of the multifaceted work of Agha, this title documents immersive installations, embroidery, drawings, paintings and wall sculptures. Such vi sual gateways, the “patterns used to break patterns,” as the New York Times put it in a recent profile on the artist, poetically convey the contradictions and layered dimensions of the American journey. The book includes essays that explore Agha’s work through the lenses of biography, feminism and art and architectural history.Whether immersive rooms of light or delicate, intimate drawings, Agha’s works prompt feelings of wonder, disarming audiences with their beauty and allowing them to ponder deep questions regarding themes such as the history of women, the role of spirituality and the immigrant experience.
