Kirei Board, 66”x71”, 2007

Silva Ajemian and Jorge Prado

Initially conceived as a one-off room divider of interlocking, operable panels, the Meshoush screen projects a strong totem-like figure when folded closely.  As it unfolds, its various arms carve forms from the space around it.  With Meshoush, we exploit the juxtaposition between the highly figured Kirei board and geometric abstraction to create a primal yet refined definer of space.
