Gasp! This is “Path (2014)”, a gorgeous textile installation by today’s ‘member in the spotlight’, Iranian artist Sara Dehghan:

“Displacement and movement are part of my life. The unpleasant conditions and bad economy of my country, Iran, forced me and my family to immigrate to Sweden. This dislocation was the first time that I was forced to migrate, but not the last. Although it gives me the opportunity to experience new cultures, it always comes at a price. It separates me from my roots – family, friends and the culture which I love.

Sometimes my artwork shows the excitement and joy of my journey, but often it shows my sense of loss and separation. I work in a world between; painting and sculpture; lost and found; two dimensions and three dimensions; resident and refugee. I layer personal history, organic motifs, global influences, and cultural patterns which frame my experience.”

So beautiful… as is the rest of her statement, which you can find right here.

Okay, this ice cream cone ad was just too good not to repurpose for my own agenda! This is my not-so-subtle way to say: “Would your brand or business like to be a sponsor of The Jealous Curator’s ART DELIVERY? Choose one week, several weeks, or whatever works for you! How? Easy! Just send Danielle an email with the subject line ‘SPONSORSHIP’, and she’ll give you the FULL SCOOP!” See what I did there? Yep, tied it back to the stolen vintage ad. Mic drop.

Happy weekend ~ Danielle
