CURATING :The Studio Wall

They are pages from sketch books ,I've used , when I travelled ,was at art school and when i worked at Glasgow Print studio .

They are sketches from a variety of sketch books , arranging them together attempting to  capture the shift.They are the first thoughts ,the skeleton of the bigger idea.

Done till july 2012.

These sketch book  pages remain hidden as unspoken words in the artists sketchbook .

Arranging them to reflect on the unsaid between the lines.........

ALBUM

The work Album is an artist book , with a set of 8 Etchings ,bonded together  in an album .

The work attempts to recall memories of people , spaces , experiences and conversations .

Flipping through the pages ,is an experience of re-living  those moments . 

As in the lines of  'Sheshlekha' by Rabindranath Tagore .

'If i can once again 

I shall find that chair 

in whose embrace remains 

the loving message of a distant land '

 A collaborative work with Sindhura D.M .

The paper works had the basic idea to capture the moment of experience , the experience as we watched the rain gushing down through the window ,or  the door or any other source from an interior space . They are a set of 15 paper works using  ink , thread and the typewriter .The type writer lines signify  the rhythm of the rain drops ,  woven through with tread images of interior spaces and objects juxtaposing together the experience of watching something thats temporary yet making music from its flow .

arranged together .

CURATING : The Studio wall

TITLE: "Distant times"
DIMENSIONS:Variable

 It is  a collage of various artist cards ive collected in the past two years and the ones that inspire me the most. An  attempt to see how artworks created by different artist in different times at distant places ,when captured in a same size format , relate to each other in a common space.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;

There is a rapture on the lonely shore;

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar;

I love not man the less, but Nature more...

- Lord Byron

I walked out , I had a home . Then the old ,then the new .. I also had the wind ,the clouds ,the shadows .
