Garden of Murmurs: Malik Thomas Jalil Kydd

In Garden of Murmurs, Malik Thomas Jalil Kydd’s body of work spanning the past years offers a reflection into the artist’s introspection of self-identity and personal desires.

The works delve into his Iraqi heritage, and bridge painting, drawing and fiber art – reconciling the tactility of textiles with a sensitive examination of form. Focusing primarily on the male figure drawn to a scale slightly larger than life-size, Kydd has developed a poetic dialogue between material, identity, and culture.
