In the exhibition a sense of identity is at play. “Couplings” will ignite questions of our own identity within the relationships we value most. Norod presents a series of mixed media paintings developed from an interactive study of couples. Interviews of these couples were conducted and documented by video, email, or written letter. Norod immersed herself in the dialogues by exploring the intricacies of interpersonal relationships. The couplings included romantic, unique and familial relationships where a multitude of emotions were expressed then translated abstractly by the artist. Each couple’s interview was interpreted onto one canvas or panel. This series takes a personal and in depth look at the unities formed throughout a relationship and how an individual lives inside a couple.
