nadia barkate

Bilbao, 1980. In her work, Nadia Barkate combines graphic languages and sculpture, with autobiographical remnants or her own images, which are more or less one in the same. A certain narrative intention is very much present in her process, which connects daily experience with manual work and spoken word. Sculpture responds to a need for order; it is a veiled narrative with a desire to appear accessible, dispelling what is obvious about the object through deliberate gestures and taking advantage of the value of its excess and what is residual.
