About the artwork“An abstraction of my family situation.” This is how Fatima Moallim describes the sensitive drawing that unfolds its links and nerve threads across a mottled-grey linoleum carpet. It could also represent a substitute for the family album that never was. The black figure in the middle is the artist herself as a child, but could just as well be someone else. The child is ensnared in lines and bodies that tug in different directions – a web of relationships, feelings and tangles. For Moallim, drawing became a way of processing a childhood with no natural sense of context. The lino refers to public housing. This hard-wearing imitation of stone forms the background for Moallim’s fragile lines, which resemble rock carvings or hieroglyphs.
