Firoozeh Neman says
“I let the pen flow and allow the pen to take a life of its own. I am a mere channel that holds the pen.”
Q.
Walk us through your creative process.
A.
I let the pen flow and allow the pen to take a life of its own. I am a mere channel that holds the pen. When I put the pen to paper I don’t have a clue as to what will appear on the paper.
In regards to my sculptures, the same principles apply. I don’t dictate to my pieces what they will turn out to be. They have a life of their own. I give them form, they give me the details and their expressions. We don’t fight. We flow together and we are both happy.
Q.
What art/artists are you inspired by/interested in?
A.
Modigliani and Egon Schiele.
