About the Item

Valerie Hird’s body of work is a visual compilation of the experiences, associations and memories collected in her trips through the Middle East, Northern Africa, Spain and Turkey. Hird creates a fascinating topography of her own through the landscapes conquered by her suggestive memories. Her work is organic, evocative, and extremely personal in its flow. We can see this distinct essence in her representations of the rocky arid mountains and the aroma of the perfumes sold by street venders. The elements, colors and patterns absorbed from her trips, take over the surface of her work. The cypresses from Granada are invaded by the Alhambra glazed tiles; the Turkish mountains adopt the kilim patterns; the nomadic people performing their daily tasks are camouflaged by the colors of their fabrics in the landscapes behind them.
