Overview
Khalid manipulates the solid spaces to delve into the endless possibilities that these patterns offer. The artist also accords geometry a kind of spirituality with her belief that geometry and mathematics are a form of 'divine knowledge'. Her patterned forms also allude to the dual nature of the universe and solar system, which she describes as simultaneously abstract and very real.
