    Halima Akhtar

    Halima Akhtar is a multi-disciplinary artist based in London that works across drawing and sculpture. Her work explores the nature of transitory experiences, with a particular interest in notions of spatial boundaries.

The imagery that features within her work is often evocative of object assemblages and surreal landscapes that explore forms and spaces teetering on the verge of intersection.
