In Tracing Blurred Lines, Yas Doctor navigates the fragmented spaces where memory, nostalgia, and reality intersect. Rooted in the artist’s early exploration of monotype printmaking and ghost images, the exhibition transforms into a deeply personal reflection shaped by unexpected upheavals in her life. Her initial plans to reinterpret daily, photographic glimpses of her commute through layered printmaking and embroidery now expands to include moments of chaos and recalibration, blurring the lines between her past concepts and present realities.
Doctor reexamines old matrices and processes, weaving new meaning from distorted prints, torn layers, and stitched threads. These works, bound by recollection and transformation, trace the tension between clarity and disarray, presenting a vivid exploration of how memory shifts with time and circumstance. From mundane imagery to deeply personal moments, her art captures the delicate act of finding coherence in the fragments.
This exhibition, Doctor’s second solo show, reflects her evolution as an artist, from her beginnings in children’s book illustration to her mastery of printmaking and beyond. Tracing Blurred Lines invites viewers to embrace ambiguity and discover the possibilities that lie within distortion and reconstruction.
