Shadi Yousefian’s monograph, Transforming, spans two decades of mixed media art making by the Iranian-American artist and offers an in depth exploration of her work and process. This hard cover publication is limited to an edition of only 200 copies and is perfect-bound in coated black linen. Each book is signed and numbered by the artist.
Based in the bay-area, Yousefian’s oeuvre has evolved to combine the medium of photography with other media such as wood panels, wax, resin, and light boxes in order to create mixed media compositions and, in some cases, larger sculptural and installation pieces. While her subject matter does not significantly change, her work varies stylistically from a more spontaneous expressionistic approach to a carefully planned minimalistic and repetitive one. All of the artist’s work to date reflects the desire to capture and distill some essence of her own life as an immigrant and connect it to a more universal experience. Her work suggests and builds upon a kind of fragmentation and dissolution, but also the endeavor to reinvent and reconstruct a self in a new social and cultural context.
