Three sculptures by Nabilah Nordin are featured in Sydney Contemporary's Installation program, curated by Josรฉ Da Silva.
Presented together, ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ, ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐บ and ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฆ continue the artistโs interest in material experimentation, spatial interplay and the expressive possibilities of abstraction. Developed from intuitive lines translated into steel through bending, welding and assembly, the works operate like drawings released into space. Their flowing, sinuous forms suggest movement, balance and transformation, while their surfaces retain a sense of touch, pressure and improvisation. Nordin invites viewers to encounter abstraction as a bodily experience: playful, precarious and animated by the tension between structure and gesture.
"Iโm always looking for what sculpture can be, and what it can do. I build through a process of testing, adjusting and responding. I want works to feel active, as though they are holding themselves together, moving or becoming something else." โNabilah Nordin
