Gallery 1: BAU Open First Prize Exhibition Briana Babani: Stuff and Nonsense

Babani’s work is rooted in rigorous material exploration and labor-intensive technique. Repetitive gestures and motifs are a recurring theme, as are dualities between graphic and textural, playful and restrained, familiar and strange. She is interested in toying with notions of familiarity, functionality, and value — to that end, ubiquitous materials and forms provide a critical point of departure.
