Merge

A combination of Western Australian Sandalwood constitutes the ephemeral drawing on the floor. In this composition, alpona, an Indian art form, merges with native eucalyptus and sandalwood, but hints of the alpona emerge through the sandalwood. I mapped ceramic pieces tied with red and gold strings over an ephemeral sandalwood drawing to suggest interconnectivity.

Horizon to Horizon

Horizon to Horizon 2 depicts shifting landscapes and a convergence of cultures. The artwork is based on a postcolonial understanding of universality and difference. It symbolizes strife, culminating in convergence by linking tea–soaked ceramic objects with a red string to bridge cultural divides. The narrative is an individual story relating to a larger experience. It insists upon my experience of the ‘third world’ that can find a place within the ‘first world’ and be communicated within a single narrative form.

Ceramic & Textile

Growing up in the foothills of the Himalayas has given me a deeper appreciation of nature and the importance of preserving it. My research on this topic has sparked an interest in ecofeminism. My ceramic sculptures incorporate craft as a metaphorical expression of the feminine spirit. Rather than exact representations of natural organic forms, I strive to create ceramic sculptures that suggest the subtlety of organic forms. The goal of my interpretation is to evoke a sense of wonder and beauty in the viewer and bring the fragility of our environment to light. We are the microcosms within the macrocosms of the earth.
