Diana Al-Hadid

xerox transfer and conté on mylar

2010

The work showcases Diana Al-Hadid's masterful layering of xerox transfer and conté on mylar, creating a haunting interplay between mechanical reproduction and hand-drawn mark-making. The translucent mylar ground lends the composition an ethereal, suspended quality, as fragmented forms emerge and dissolve across the surface. Al-Hadid's characteristic blending of architectural ruins and the human figure feels both ancient and unstable, caught in a state of perpetual becoming.
