#tbt to the making of ‘With Adam’s Ale, Eve Knows’ Adam's Ale is an old colloquial term for Water (based on the presumption that biblical Adam had only water to drink in the Garden of Eden). I wanted to include water within these works for the symbolic references including fertility, source of life, wisdom and intuition. The deepest waters in this world are still unexplored, so for me water also represents a kind of mysticism. The changeable qualities of water (liquid, solid, vapour) also allude to the idea of metamorphosis. When I was titling the works, I was thinking about the female's position in a patriarchal culture. How (as a society) did we arrive at Patriarchy and its set of ideas? It got me thinking about the Adam and Eve creation story...how possibly the narratives and dogma we're exposed to from childhood (ie Eve's punishment for her disobedience) form subconscious beliefs in the psyche which are then perpetuated throughout the years without question. These then provide justification for the status quo? So whilst it was important to me (visually) to celebrate the feminine form and its characteristics, I also wanted to make reference to this. #artstudio #london #ukartist #blackbritishvisualartists #ayeshafeisal #ayeshasarthouse #female #contemporaryart #artistsoninstagram

The Gift (1) , 90 x 90 cms, acrylic on canvas This was the first of the two paintings (see previous post ) Part of a recent body of work exploring personal transition and transformation. Last year was a surreal year for me. We lost a young member of the family. It was sudden and unexpected and the loss was felt both emotionally and physically. Then immediately within the space of two months I ended up in hospital twice, first under quarantine after contracting a contagious illness secondly following an injury that required surgery. For the rest of the year my mobility was affected, unable to stand/ walk at first then needing physio to walk properly again. I was housebound much of the time. I was affected psychologically and this influenced much of the work in the current series. The circular motif in these pieces represent renewal and regeneration. It also symbolic of the cyclical nature of the spirit. #ayeshafeisal #ayeshasarthouse #london #ukart #houseofafricanart #hoxton #blackbritishvisualartist #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #artshow
