As a conceptual artist, my work draws from my formal training in painting, printmaking, and sculpture at the College of Art in Delhi, India, and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. I built on my inter-media practice during my MFA from Arizona State University, where I was also a research fellow at the Center for Philosophical Technologies. My work has been shown in both group and solo shows in India, France, Sweden and the US.
Philosophy
As [an]artist and interventionist, I explore the nature of materiality -including the toxicity of materials - in socio-cultural and political spheres. My artworks explore the intersections of technology, colonialism, and capitalism through lived experiences of individual and socialized aesthetics. I juxtapose traditional, industrial, and contemporary materials, examining themes of labor and belonging, and the transformation of local habits into abstractions of resistance, in consideration of the forms of alienation brought by our technological age.
