Studying old manuscripts are the main source of Roxan’s practice; manuscripts such as an old Shahnameh ( Persian book of kings) or the European book of hours, French Moyen age and book of Kells. Strange and unusual proportions of figures, mixing animals and human beings, monsters and angles take her to another layer of the existing world. Roxana will present hanging curtains of Gampi/Kazu paper and 3D papier-mâché sculptures.
