Wardah Naeem Bukhari has taken a remarkably gigantic leap in her work. Rather than forsake her earlier engagement with the traditional craft of jewelry-making as practiced by the rural womenfolk of Multan, she has found a contemporary context to translate that practice into a personal idiom: Xeroxed, drawn and/or painted images of human anatomy and physiognomy coupled with organic configurations fashioned out of wire, yarn, thread,metal wire either substituting or standing in for body parts, constitute her new aesthetic, formal and conceptual vocabulary.
To personalize the work further, Bukhari considered making drawings – images that deal specifically with the female form. After all, indigenous practices such as embroidery, stitching, knotting and knitting are a female domain, and almost exclusive to the female component of the rural economy. By combining a primarily feminine vocation with the female anatomy, Bukhari has been able to arrive at a novel approach that carries more impact and conceptual clarity.
