Talin Hazbar

Talin Hazbar’s practice focuses on understanding and exploring natural matter, formations, systems and the relationship they form to a larger social, ecological and historical context. She has been developing a body of work that she referred to as structures of impermanence; exploring the temporality through structures, in forms, materials and context in its presence and absence. Her practice accentuates the importance of working within natural systems and experimenting with materials to observe the properties of both the materials and the systems around us. The interest in nature and the ephemeral structures comes from their ability to operate and behave at a microscopic level and the macro grand level simultaneously. Her projects, ranging across sculpture, and installation, represent ways of understanding the role of materials in expressing the poetry of spaces, in re-visiting built structures and introduce new relationships and understandings. Hazbar’s practice is focused on redefining the ideology of molds. By using malleable molds to achieve articulated coherent and responsive structures and understanding the materials used. It is important to have a space for material contingency where the material responds, adapts, evolves, decays and transforms constantly. Exploring the notion of structures of impermanence started through out the sand solidification works in 2012. Through this body of works the focus is to redefining the idea of molds and our relationship to a landscape using granule materials since they sit in-between a solid and a liquid state.
