Stitch-Resist Dyeing on Handwoven Silk (Diptych)
The work is an expression of angst, of disquiet which the artist experiences when she sees her memories being ruined. It is the disappointment she feels, when her daughter can no longer experience the joy of witnessing those beautiful sights which are still etched in her own childhood memory.
This work was realised after a recent trip to the once-pristine, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India. It symbolises human thoughtlessness and infestation of oceans with plastics. It is not only aesthetic ruination, the mass mortality of aquatic life due to oceanic dead zones, recurring oil spills and overfishing, has been externalised here.
