Maysha Mohamedi: yesterday I was a tiny tube of toothpaste

Cookbook pages, magazine clippings and travel diaries provide the simplified, symbolic language for Mohamedi’s paintings

This facsimile edition of her studio notebook spotlights never-before-exhibited paintings and the scrapbooked ephemera that influenced their palettes.
