For the third episode, we have visited Sanié Bokhari in her Bushick’s studio as she’s working on her upcoming solo show at the gallery this November.

“The show is going to be about painting. I have been at this for a while and I am focusing on letting the painting show me. Its’s fun. Building slowly,the forms,memories, light, figure, sensation, and presence. They are based on my ideas on painting and attitudes towards making. The painting and my experience shows me the way if I am patient. It always does.”

“I'm working on my next solo, titled "Transmogrification NOW!". In my previous shows I had really been working with the idea of being afraid to inherit some of the more challenging aspects of my ancestors, and in this next show I'm trying to embrace those parts, alchemize them into something more positive”
