About the book
Susan Hefuna embraces a wide range of media, including drawing, sculpture, and installation as well as video, photography, and performance. From 2004, she began working with Cairene craftsmen who make the wooden screens known as mashrabiya that lter the light and create privacy in traditional houses. In her versions, Hefuna places within them words or short texts in Arabic or English. The designs of the wooden screens inspired her delicate abstract drawings, created from ink and layers of tracing and cartridge paper.
