UNITED KINGDOM---For her first solo show at Rose Issa Projects, the Moroccan artist
Batoul S’Himi presents a selection of works from a sculpture series that she started in 2008, "
World Under Pressure (Monde sous pression)." In this series, the artist transforms potentially hazardous household cooking appliances and utensils – such as stove-top coffee pots, Butagaz, pressure cookers, and meat cleavers – into unique artworks that convey a sense of anxiety about the world in a witty and visually striking way, as if it could be about to explode or hacked to pieces.
