“Utopian Towers” by Rebecca Proctor
Harper’s Bazaar Art
Step inside Afruz Amighi’s Brooklyn studio and one will behold many shadows on the wall. Like the gentle light that emanates from a flickering candle, the shadows are but mirrors of the artist’s architectural installations. They ever so gently reveal forms that replicate those of monumental edifices, thus appropriating aspects of major historical structures that continue to look down upon humankind.
