Artist Semaan Khawam is inspired by the freedom of birds
Manage episode 331855047 series 2502780
“My nickname is Birdman. So, I use birds in all of my work. For me, birds can travel the world without thinking of borders, you know? Something I don't have the luxury of.”
Semaan Khawam is artist-in-residence at Allison Lochhead’s ‘Art for Peace’ exhibition, showing at Appetite’s Astley Walk arts space in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
He tells me more about the inspiration for his sculptures and paintings, and why he can never return to the place of his birth, Syria.
