Artist Statement: SOAD A KADER I almost always want to be by the window. I love looking out - seeing and feeling different types of space, especially the change of perspective looking down, like when I am on a rooftop or in an airplane. The surprise, mystery, or wonder at what I am observing intrigues me, peaks my curiosity. It isnt always important to know what it is I am looking at. I enjoy that time in between, the ambiguity and call to look more closely to delight in the details and abstract qualities. Noticing colors, textures, lines, shapes, character of light or movement allows me to wonder. Through materials and subject matter I explore changing points of view to express that pleasure and learning we can take in the everyday experience of looking and seeing anew. I grew up with my Egyptian Muslim father and with my Basque-Italian-American Catholic mother, first in Egypt, and then in California. The mix they created in coming together continues to inform my identity and influence my perspectives and explorations. I wanted to change my name to Susan when I was eight so I could blend in more easily on California soil. My parents said no; I am grateful. Learning to be proud of my mixed heritage and stand in all my color gives me a unique vantage point and hunger for varied perspectives and deeper understanding.
