Dala Nasser’s new works, I’m not going to talk about that, and Practice over Product I & II, all 2018, are comprised of liquid latex, resin, discarded plastic sheets, mylar blankets, and mineral pigments, revealing a variety of chemical processes with translucent burnt areas and heavily pigmented in other areas. Each work hangs on rigs, out from the wall, about 50 cm, where it is able to move with the air and movement in the space, as well as exercise its own temporality. Nasser’s works portray the refusal of the cultural confinement of the racialized and gendered artist, that is supported in mainstream and social media and then embodied in different ways by different communities. Grounding her practice through the questions of material and modern processes, she sets out to produce works that respond to their physical, and contextual components, evolving autonomously over time. Nasser’s sculptural forms embody her relationship to hegemonic narratives and discharge a continuous push-back against structural expectations with materiality at their center, expanding on a dialogue for change in societies at home and abroad.
