Naheed Raza : Micro-residancy







The Edinburgh Sculpture workshop offers artists the opportunity to undertake Micro Residency’s, the most recent of which was Naheed Raza. In the resulting exhibition, 'Bread, Bonsai and the Bronze' we see her interest in the materiality of objects. Here she explores the physicality of ordinary and less ordinary objects, and examines both the innate and manipulatable properties that they hold.

In this exhibition we are given glimpses at various moments in processes of change, looking at how we might relate to and manipulate these. Through photographs, light and projected images a very sculptural presence is retained due to the tactile and immersive nature of the images.
