What Comes to My Lips is the first monograph on the artist Ambreen
Butt. Trained in the thousand-year tradition of Indo-Persian
miniature painting and contemporary Western art and theory, Butt's
studio practice circumvents history, tradition and contemporaneity,
creating a multifaceted project that explores civil liberties and
rights, mutual responsibilities and complex geopolitical
forces.Illuminated with images of the artist's paintings, collaged
works on paper and large-scale installations from the past three
decades, this in-depth book features essays by curator/writer Sara
Raza and artist/critic Quddus Mirza. Raza examines Butt's practice
through the thematic lens of the sciences of Islam's Golden Age
(7th-14th century), proposing a bridge that connects art, history
and cosmology. In his essay, Mirza places the conventions of the
artist's work in relation to longer historical narratives and
traditional gendered roles across the spectrums of time and
locality.An intimate archive of Butt's technically rich,
aesthetically delightful work, What Comes to My Lips invites the
reader to enter the symbolic landscape of Butt's oeuvre and
discover the hidden, unseen and unrecorded aspects that shimmer
beneath the surface of even the most fraught realities.
