Don’t worry. I’ll get tired of it soon enough.
new painting today } eve and her sister eve
Posted on June 18, 2013 2 Comments
I finally got myself to a. the dentist’s and b. Jarir Bookstore for my canvas, paints and brushes. I’d forgotten the rush I get when I paint something I feel is strong and beautiful. I love the two women in this painting. I must say, my spirits are lifted and I feel fantastic.
airplane timelines } jazeera airways flight 177 dubai to kuwait } march 23rd, 2013

What a messy day this was. I got to Dubai International Airport with ample time to check-in, have my breakfast and enjoy the requisite Duty Free experience. I soon discovered that instead of booking for that day, I’d booked for the 30th. Needless to say I wanted to kick myself in the bum and then […]

Every now and then you meet a little man you fall in love with. And then you make him a chair. Here’s to heirlooms and happy times, Hilal.
art dubai 2013
Posted on March 25, 2013 3 Comments
After years of ‘You’re not going to Art Dubai?’ or ‘You must go to Art Dubai’, I decided to go to Art Dubai. I was always skeptical about it, accused it of being too commercial, that art should not be displayed in such an exhibitionist manner, that it should be more intimate, ideally displayed in […]
new chair

This is one of two chairs I’m preparing for dar.nur. I missed making my chairs (I don’t make the actual chairs, just the drawings). I’m working on the sister chair but that’s proving a little more difficult. More later.
kiss & cut } the exhibition } mohammed alkandari’s photos

I’m finally posting my brother Mohammed’s photos of the opening night of my exhibition Kiss & Cut. Unfortunately, he was having trouble with his camera and wasn’t too happy with what he took. But to me it’s not about the final photos. It’s a personal appreciation of his being there and capturing the moments that […]

I decided to drop by Tilal Gallery last night and hang out with my girls. While there, I drew a picture.
kiss & cut } the exhibition } my photos

These are some photos I took last night. Apart from my feet being torn apart by killer heels, I think the night went well. It’s always good to interact with people who have just met your work. Traditionally, I post my brother Mohammed’s photos, but unfortunately his camera failed him yesterday. He did take some […]
kiss & cut } the last one } scroll (after)

So I finally had my panic dream this morning. I dreamt that my show was tonight and I hadn’t even brought my works to the gallery, which had changed without anyone telling me. My show was in an hour and I hadn’t even selected my outfit. And I didn’t have a car and everyone who […]

This is my ‘countdown’ scroll. I’ll be working on this one perhaps until my works are due to be hung. It’s going to be fun.
kiss & cut } two pages today

Yesterday I got a call from Gallery Tilal. They urgently needed hi-res images of my works for the invitation. I immediately called my right-hand woman Jana and she came through for me. J, you’re a rock star! Here are the two images I sent (I am really so very happy with them!) and some behind-the-scenes […]
kiss & cut } sin and release

By how much work I got done today, you can tell two things: One. I didn’t pick up my children from school today and two. I’m in a bit of a bad way.
