Hazel Atashroo

Neeral Bhatt has kindly blogged about my work as included in Polarity magazine issue 1, Death vs. Taxes:

… There’s space here to introduce just one piece of artist’s work. You’ll have to buy the magazine to see the rest. Hazel Atashroo’s ‘She reveals/conceals’ series at first appears to be a very quiet kind of exposure*. Violent, flash-revealed nature. A pair of hands feyly clutching at stage velvet. And is the girl on the rooftop a bedroom superhero, a suicide commando or a diver abdicating through and away from the waking, domestic world. All forms of passage, rite, exchange and sacrifice. This is what ‘Death vs. Taxes’ meant to me… *I would soundtrack Hazel’s work with Fever Ray’s cover of ‘Stranger Than Kindness’

full article available here at the warwick university blog, discussing the magazine, its aims, and China Mieville… who will be interviewed in issue 2.

Polarity is i’m told available for purchase at Tenderproduct (attached to Tenderpixel Gallery).

Have just had a photograph selected as ‘Web Picture of the Day’ on the Troika Editions website.

Thanks, Bridget!
