In the newest installation of her series  Ghostwriter , Soleimani “ghostwrites” her parents’ lives: as pro-democratic dissidents targeted by the totalitarian regime in Iran after ’79; and as stateless refugees forced to seek asylum across Europe and in pre- and post-9/11 America.

The artist is looking to tap into the aspirations and fantasies of exploring other places. Drawing from distant memories mixed with future facing desires the artist offers up worlds which are both familiar and yet unspecific. In her review of Edelman’s 2022 solo exhibition  Getaway ,  New York Times  critic Roberta Smith described the paintings as “clashing arrangements of gorgeous color; variations in paint-handling and distortions of style, space and scale. They contrast flattening patterns and plunging or tilted depths, modernist sophistication with gleeful naïveté.” The figur
