Nabilah Nordin: Covergirl Adhesives
-
COMA is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Australian Singaporean artist Nabilah Nordin – her first solo with the gallery – titled Covergirl Adhesives.
This new body of work is concerned with celebrating surface, texture and colour. Functioning on an immediate, visceral level the sculptures act as both stand-alone objects and work to convey the rigorous labour that goes into them. To achieve a finish and to create a final appearance, whether it is shiny and glossy or activated through globules and ridges, the physical undertaking for Nordin is enormous. These processes – sweeping, sawing, drilling, mixing – are embedded in the sculptures, something the viewer may or may not discern when presented with only the final layer.

“Nordin’s work is a celebration of surface texture; rough and bruaque and hard and soft and honest and felt.”
