Mandy El-Sayegh lives and works in London, UK. El-Sayegh’s prac­tice is rooted in assem­blage. Executed in a wide range of media, including densely lay­ered paint­ings, sculp­ture, instal­la­tion, dia­grams, as well as sound and video, Her works inves­ti­gate the for­ma­tion and break-down of sys­tems of order, be they bodily, lin­guistic or polit­ical. Drawing from a wide range of research and ref­er­ence mate­rial, El-Sayegh incor­po­rates pop cul­tural imagery, sci­en­tific dia­grams, com­mer­cial pack­aging as well as objects from her per­sonal archive, decon­tex­tu­al­izing the familiar to create new mean­ings. El-Sayegh char­ac­terises her works as being pre­oc­cu­pied with ‘part-to-whole’ rela­tions and with the for­ma­tion of sub­jec­tivity - how frag­ments can be uni­fied to a coherent whole.
