Here is a preparatory view of "Mud compound, Bagram", the piece I developed for our faculty exhibition, Dialogue Past, Present, Future, at The College of New Jersey. Its acrylic on cotton curtain in 3 panels- developed from one of the images from my first site visit to Afghanistan in 2012. The mud wall surrounds a family compound that is typical in Afghanistan where a tall wall encloses interior family structures so that no outsiders can enter unannounced. This feels intimidating from the outside, but provides security and intimacy for the family members within.
