Threads+nails

Mohammed Taheer

Born 5th, August 1999. From Nigeria, Niger State. Mohammed Taheer holds a national diploma in computer science from the Niger state polytechnic in Zungeru. His works are an interaction of colours and creases of fine Thread on an artistic journey of self realisation through the intricate dynamics of nails and threads and boards. 

 “I got into art in the thick of the pandemic. I found an escape through art and over time I realise that art is not only an escape from the monotony of end fear of that period but also a salve for my demons and I have taken the decision to say my piece, to express my hopes, share my joy, and bare open my fears through my works, and through the subjects I portray. In a society where everything is hidden, I want to live in the open.”
