de Su exhibición:
Wood has the capacity to breathe life into a sculpture and capture the essence of its form. Humaira Abid utilizes the organic properties of this material to give her art a rich delicacy that juxtaposes the material's inherent hardness. In Perfect Figure, for example, the rigid outline she carved to represent a corset nevertheless evokes the soft quality of a woman's figure. In Clew in Wood, Abid has intricately carved a depth that is reminiscent not only of a ball of ribbon but the layers of skin and the complexity of a woman's body and soul.
de Economica:
La caoba y el bronce son duros y oscuros, y tradicionalmente se asocian con los hombres y la masculinidad. Al esculpir la experiencia femenina en estos materiales, Humaira Abid borra la línea entre los géneros y los roles estereotipados que se les atribuyen. En estas obras, Abid reintroduce lo masculino en sus esculturas en forma de zapatos, camisas y navajas de afeitar, pero yuxtaponiendo estos objetos con chupetes, biberones y blusas, explora el papel que tienen los hombres en el cuidado de los hijos a medida que asumen roles más "maternales". A medida que los hombres comparten de forma más equitativa el proceso parental, las mujeres son libres de asumir diferentes roles en el mercado laboral y en otros ámbitos.
