This lead me to Martin\u2019s a book titled \u201cListening to War, Sound, Music and Survival in Wartime Iraq\u201d where he describes an interview with a mother shielding her children from the violent sounds of war by holding them tight and pressing her arms against their ears. Her body, her flesh then acted as a perfect, natural micro environment to protect her children. I wanted to mimic this concept of \u201cflesh as defense\u201d so I introduced pyramid acoustic foam in the paintings; a material that \u201cdetains\u201d sound. I started surgically cutting my linen and pushing the foam through it from the back. As it was penetrating the surface I felt as if I was conducting an operation of resistance. These calculated cuts and wounds were enabling the painting to breathe. Inhaling and exhaling it was reacting, resisting, defending and accepting these sonic wounds.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speechless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in absolute awe of everything Iraqi born, LA based artist\u00a0Hayv Kahraman\u00a0creates.
