Zimra Beiner: If It Holds It Grows

“I examine the intersection between reality and fiction from the obscure to the generic."

“I examine the intersection between reality and fiction from the obscure to the generic. I use my own language of line, volume and composition to make sense of the overlaps which occur in the studio (my reality), the home (everyone’s reality) and the gallery (the reality of art).” — Zimra Beiner (Assistant Professor, Ceramics)
