In 2011, I was selected as one of eight Australian Muslim Women Artist’s to be part of AMWAP, the Australian Muslim Women’s Arts Project. This project was the outcome of a number of years of development, funded by the Australia Council for the Arts (Creative Australia) and the Human Rights Commission. It resulted in the No Added Sugar Exhibition in 2012 at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre on Dharug, Tharawal (Dharawal) and Gandangara land in Sydney, Australia.

‘A Sampling – The untorn fabric of what is stirred.
The constancy of thought, probing, analysing. Words given shape into substance yet shifting, eluding and generating endless scenarios and questions. ‘

The Project involved substantial mentoring in the form of two artist laboratories held on site at Casula Powerhouse in 2011, along with our own individual Community Cultural Engagement Projects.



‘We don’t seek significance this way, it sits upon us as a burden that even the mountains refused.’

‘I have been woven through time.’

There is no reality but the Reality, 2012

‘The sacred play of opposites and of contradiction as it unfolds within subjective experience, agitation becomes catharthis. The lie of “identity” is exposed and absorbed into one pulsing awareness ‘La ilaha illallah’, there is no reality but the Reality. This video installation uses recordings from a performance enacted over ten hours in the artist’s clothes cupboard.‘
