About the artist
Marjan Seyedin
Marjan Seyedin is a printmaker working primarily in black and white. Her practice gathers around drypoint, etching, and drawing — a slow, durational engagement with the plate, the paper, and the press.
[Placeholder biography.] Born in Tehran, the artist trained in fine arts before settling into a long-term studio practice between Paris and Tehran. Her work moves between observed subjects — clouds, interiors, single flowers — and the abstractions that emerge through repeated impressions.
In the studio, recent work.
Practice
[Placeholder practice statement.] The work begins, almost always, with a small drawing — a thing caught on a walk, a corner of a room, the slow drift of a cloud. The plate then takes over: a scratched, bitten, patiently corrected surface that holds the memory of every pass.
Working almost entirely in black and white allows the material to carry the weight. Paper, ink, and pressure become the vocabulary; each print is both an image and a record of its own making.
