Scripts marks a major shift in Nabilah Nordin’s practice, featuring seven sculptures that distil her dynamic approach into a language of flowing, sinuous and distinctly enigmatic forms. The new sculptures in Scripts, refine the artists material experimentation, emphasizing structure, movement and spatial interplay.
Nordin’s recent sculptures function as drawings in space - gestural, fluid, and responsive. Each begins with an intuitive line, translated into steel through processes of bending, welding, and assembling. The rigidity of metal yields to an expressive, almost calligraphic sensibility, as if the forms were suspended in a state of continuous transformation. This process of manipulation captures fleeting moments of material tension, rendering each sculpture a choreography of precise flourishes and movement.
