Leila Seyedzadeh is an interdisciplinary artist who creates landscapes informed by views and memories of her home in Tehran, Iran. She began using fabric in her art in 2015, cutting and stitching it to construct what she calls textile paintings. Her work incorporates hand-dying, sewing, and mending, skills she learned from her mother, with various upcycled fabrics arranged to resemble natural scenes with winding rivers, valleys, and mountains alluding to the Alborz Mountain range that surrounded her in Tehran. Her current solo exhibition, "Under the Sky, Above the Sea," is on view in the Art Center’s Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery through May 18, 2025. (fb)
