“Brooklyn-based Artist Afruz Amighi Debuts Her Women Made of Steel” by Margaret Carrigan
Observer
“My work used to be a lot more architectural, but after last year’s election, I don’t know, I suddenly felt like I wanted to represent people,” artist Afruz Amighi told me in her Brooklyn studio one early fall afternoon. I was there to see her latest steel sculptures, soon to be shipped off to London for her first solo show in the U.K. at Sophia Contemporary. The exhibition, “Echo’s Chamber,” which remains on view through January 19, 2018, features nine new wall-mounted works that serve as metal effigies of archetypal women in profile along with select drawings.
