Tatheer Daryani

The works of Tatheer Daryani are mostly autobiographical but allow the viewer to (re)interpret them as per their own experience and perception. She uses blood and mercury in her work. It is a quality of mercury that once lost from containment it is almost impossible to retrieve. Its \'mercurial\' like its name. She combines in glass vessels, mercury with her own blood– creating a new and fantastical amalgam as industrial material merges with organic bodily elements. This bears the visual qualities of a strange emotive jewel.
