AUTUMN WINTER 2021
Saying ‘no’ to static, rigid, unchangeable from and ‘yes’ to fluidity, flux, and change,
Omar Afridi’s remarkable new collection celebrates instability, chance, and freedom.
Afridi’s extensive experimentation with felt has led him to discover how random,
indeterminate forms tease new resonances from material, process, place, and self.
Through embracing the essentially arbitrary behavior of materials-random piling,
loose stacking, hanging- Afridi leaves forms free to reconfigure themselves, endlessly, beautifully.
