Saberah Malik is a textile artist and sculptor living in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Early life and education
[edit]Malik grew up in Pakistan. Malik came to the United States in 1975.[1] She is the granddaughter of Abdul Majeed Khwaja and the niece of Jamal Khwaja.
Work
[edit]Malik's work has been featured in galleries and exhibitions in Rhode Island and internationally, including installations at the TF Green Airport Gallery in Warwick, Rhode Island,[2] Hera Gallery in Wakefield, Rhode Island,[3] the Three Rivers Art Festival in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,[1] and the Islamic Art Revival Series in Irving, Texas.[4] She has also been on the teaching faculty of the textile department at the Penland School of Crafts.[5]
Technique
[edit]Much of Malik's work stems from her training in shibori dyeing techniques. In addition to dyeing textiles, Malik molds textiles onto natural and man-made forms to create sculptures.[6] She also creates what she calls "written paintings," two dimensional painted sculptures inspired by Islamic calligraphy.[7] Her calligraphy appears in Daniyal Mueenuddin's short story collection In Other Rooms, Other Wonders.[8]
