Exhibition Abstract
Referencing the idiom "at sixes and sevens," ٦ و ٧ presents overlapping visual languages and intuitive mark-making that reflect states of confusion, contradiction, and unresolved tension. The work dwells in a space of rupture: between what is legible and what resists reading, what is held together and what falls apart. Rather than restoring order, ٦ و ٧ lingers in what is misaligned. What remains is not a single narrative, but a restless accumulation of fragments: interrupted, reassembled, and deliberately left unresolved.
Yet within this misalignment, the act of mark-making itself becomes a way to pause — a form of resolution grounded in process. Through this gesture, clarity is not declared but enacted. The work does not seek to overcome fragmentation, but to name it, hold it, and mark its presence in time.
Exhibiting artists: Assel Albokhari (B.F.A. '28) and Laura Robert (SCE).
