This artwork comprises rectangles of aluminium foil, arranged together in either a grid or a single line. Each rectangle is spray-painted in different colours and has fold marks that give the appearance of a loose grid-like form on the surface. As light hits the aluminium surfaces, it interacts with the colours and folds on the aluminium, changing the appearance of the surface of each rectangle, and of the larger grid, or line, of foils. By manipulating the flat surfaces of the aluminium through the folds, Rana Begum draws her viewer's attention to the surface itself. As the viewer moves and as the light changes, the viewing experience changes with it. Begum’s practice investigates light, colour and space alongside her interest in geometric logic. Her influences come from sources as varied as Islamic architecture to minimalist art in Europe and the US. Her interest in grids has spilt over into working with the grid as a more malleable configuration, as in this work, rather than just as a rigid structure. As the architect Sam Jacob states ‘she draws out viewpoints that exist between the graphic and the spatial to reveal unexpected nuances between the usual categories of flatness, relief, object and space…she creates fields of abstract pleasure and experience – and in doing so presents new possibilities of what space itself might be’.
