‘Intersections’ – a shadow sculpture by Pakistani-American artist Anila Quayyum Agha at Rice Gallery in Houston, Texas.
A hanging laser-cut wooden cube illuminated from within by a powerful 600W light bulb casts shadows inspired by the abstract art of Islamic temples across the surrounding walls, floor, ceiling and viewers as they move around the piece. To wit:
Intersections is inspired by Agha’s visit to the Alhambra, an Islamic palace originally built in 889 in Granada, Spain. Struck by the grandeur of the space, Agha reflected upon her childhood in Lahore, Pakistan where culture dictated that women were excluded from the mosque, a place of creativity and community, and instead prayed at home. As she explains, “To my amazement [I] discovered the complex expressions of both wonder and exclusion that have been my experience while growing up.” Agha translates these contradictory feelings into Intersections, a contemplative space of her own making that is open to all.

Colibri – an elegant kinetic sculpture by Derek Hugger that mimics the flight of the hummingbird. Sez he:
Every element of motion has been completely mechanized, from the beating wings to the flaring tail. Intricate systems of linkages and cams bring the sculpture to life with a continuous flow of meticulously timed articulations. As each mechanism has been linked to the next, Colibri cycles through its complete range of motions by the simple turn of a crank. This project took me roughly 700 hours and contains about 400 parts.
