Peyman Shafieezadeh in conversation with Homayoun Sirizi
26 November 2018
Intervention in artist’s practice is the critical point of selecting this term, and further than the term the nature of this act. Neither to the extent where it is managed or tanned, nor to the opposite where are some aspects not taken into account. For the reason ahead I opt for spinning: weaving fibres of image and meaning to the strength which something is woven. If not, at least the warp and the weft are separable.
