Claire
Zarouhee Nereim is an interdisciplinary artist who primarily makes
books, drawings, and sculptures. Inspired by concrete poetry and arte
povera, her work foregrounds the
materiality of language and explores various relationships between
architecture,
botany, and feminized bodies.
She is currently working on a long term project titled The Fork in the Salad,
composed of writing, drawings and sculptures, centered on a metaphor
that troubles the idea of “nature,” often mapped onto the femme and maternal, as separate from culture.
Her work has been exhibited across the United States and Europe.
Nereim holds an MFA (2011) from California Institute of the Arts and a
BA (2003) from Oberlin College. Born in Chicago, she lives and works in
Los Angeles.
