Artist Statement
I am a homemaker and artist based
in New York. I was born and brought up in Bombay and lived in Bangalore, where
I received my Bachelor's degree in Printmaking from the College of Fine Arts,
Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath in 2003.
In carving an artistic space within my personal familial journey, I was drawn to exploring the complexities of womanhood within the domestic sphere. The everyday role of being a homemaker, a wife, and mother of two provided the context from which my work emerged. I initially worked at a small-scale and engaged heavily with repetitive, recurring patterns. This early method of working paved the way for an engagement that expanded in many different directions. In my practice, I work with drawing, printmaking, installation, video, and quilting. Currently, I am exploring ideas of relocation, from the conceptual space of home.
