ABSTRACT/MODERN
KOLAM/CONNECTIONS SERIES
Created as a response to the covid pandemic, the Kolam series of paintings is based on the South Indian traditional art form, Kolam and my reflection on human connectedness. A daily pre-dawn ritual of women drawn at thresholds of homes in South India, these are math-based geometric line compositions drawn (with rice flour) on a grid of dots. There are various theories about the significance of kolams - a welcoming feature, an ode to Mother Earth, to ward off evil, a symbolic “charity begins at home” gesture as ants, bugs and birds feed on the rice flour, etc. To me, it’s a reminder that we humans are all “connected” in shared experiences of joy, pain, healing. Sharing my culture & symbolizing that we're all braided together and are part of one race - the human race.
RIPPLE SERIES
"Be a ripple in the ocean of the world's goodness"
Created as a response to the pandemic, my Ripple series of paintings is inspired by the ripple effect of goodness we're experiencing in our communities even as covid has crippled us in many ways. We continue to experience the brave work of healthcare and emergency workers, and in each of our microcosms, seen people making masks, organizing PPE, serving the needy in many ways, inspired and uplifted by each another.
