Shireen Taweel's "Between Science and the Sublime" features six new engraved copper sculptures and aquatint works on paper that envision migration beyond Earth. In her first show in the United States, Taweel draws on traditional forms of celestial navigation, bridging past and future, the earthly and the cosmic, the scientific and the spiritual. Through delicate sculptures of astronomical instruments and fantastical landscapes, the artist molds a world in which a plurality of beings flourish and actively participate in charting their own paths.
