              I Give Birth, This Time to Myself

              I Give Birth, This Time to Myself, from Endless Becoming series, 2021, Ceramic, wood, acrylic paint, fiber, and print. 

                Endless Becoming 2021

                Rahimi's abstract wall sculptures employ broad strokes of paint affixed with ceramic shards of her own design. Choosing patterns to represent societal rules and customs, Rahimi draws and paints on unfired clay tiles, then breaks them apart to represent a state of pot-oppression-ruins, which become a catalyst for new perspectives and growth. She reassembles the broken pieces and then fires, glazes, and attaches the reordered tiles to her painted surface, imagining liberation from cultural pressure, with a mending and transformation taking place in the process.

                  Endless Becoming

                  "Endless Becoming is using Islamic geometric patterns and objects of personal significance to examine cultural shifts both subtle and revolutionary. Her recent series of wall-mounted ceramic sculptures, made from fractured Islamic tiles, explores the idea of ruin as a catalyst for new perspectives."

                  Reorienting in raw

                    Reorienting in Raw

                    Reorienting in Raw is a series of unfired ceramic sculptures that appear as a reassemblage of the shards and fractures and therefore they look unstable and fragile. Breakage makes the most important part of this body of work and the sculptures are tearing and breaking apart in a process that is out of the artists' control, and as a result of the natural vulnerability of clay. I have also peeled back from the saturated bright colors in the original designs of these patterns and left them with the muted colors of the unfired clay which highlights the abstraction from the traditional and ritualistic methods of creating Persian tiles. By not finishing them in conventional ways of dealing with clay through glazing and firing, I am unleashing the possibility for change within each of these sculptures.
