Artist Statement:

Lamia Fakhoury is a Jordanian self-taught sculptor with a hands-on approach to her work; she sees each one of her pieces from its inception through molding, casting, chasing, welding, patina work, and everything in between; as a unique one-of-a-kind piece. After several successful careers as a documentarian, a coffee roaster, and a legal arbitrator, Fakhoury made a life changing decision to live life in “playing mode”, dedicating herself to pushing the bounds of her craft, she is the first sculptor in the region to cast life-sized hollow bronze sculptures. To achieve this feat, Lamia experimented tirelessly, collaborating closely with industrial foundries in Amman and their heavy duty equipment. Her work is both playful and poignant, often exploring the way human bodies express emotion.
