Certain drawings or studies correspond to eventual three-dimensional, sculptural applications of their forms, while others employ rhythmic patterning and calligraphic mark-making to create dimensional effects within the picture plane. Typically rendered in vivid hues of felt-tipped marker and colored pencil, Monir’s works on paper demonstrate her ability to cast fields of radiant, expressive energy from pared-down arrangements of line and form, through a process characterized by structural precision.Exhibitions
