Ruby Chishti’s new work Far-off is a 9 1/2 foot-long wall sculpture of an intricately ornamented men’s coat which symbolizes the unattainable and morphed perception of paternal love. The work is the materialization of a childhood memory as it holds nostalgia for the yearning of inner stability –a painful element of her reality instilled at an early age through exposure to war and fatality. It touches upon the immortal inner child, whose psychological scars have morphed into haunting adult projections of unreachable fulfillment.
Ruby Chishti (b. 1963 in Jhang, Pakistan) is a visual artist who over the last 18 years has produced a series of lyrical-sculptures and installations that touch on themes such as the passage of time, Islamic myths, gender politics, migration, memory, universal theme of love, loss and of simply being human. Her work has been exhibited at the Asia Society Museum, Queens Museum, Aicon Gallery, Vadehra Art Gallery, Art Hong Kong and India Art fair among others.
