Carla R. Salem (Lebanese, 1978) is a papermaker and printmaker
whose work explores words and language.
Having lived in Japan for seven years, Salem merges Japanese
language and culture with her native Arabic through an exploration of the
surface and texture of self made mulberry paper (washi) and its relationship
and interaction with light.
Salem continuously develops her own printmaking techniques
while teaching printmaking as well as papermaking, at the American University
of Beirut.
She is also currently teaching at the Lebanese University of
FIne Arts.
Her work is currently on show at AGIAL Art Gallery, Hamra.
The current exhibit is entitled "twofold", March
31 - April 23, 2016.
