ABOUT THE ARTWORK
From the "Faces Of My Heritage" photogram collection. This photogram depicts a fictitious face from my Indian cultural heritage that forms my multifaceted identity. On a deeper level, the image isn't merely a face - rather, it is a portrait that is simultaneously simple and complex in its storytelling, depicting a past, a multifaceted present and an understanding of the other person's self. I use the darkroom to manually document fictitious scenes from my Indian heritage, symbolically merging fact and fiction using both drawing and the darkroom as a medium. The image is de-contextualised to enable viewers to project their own worldviews to complete the picture. The fluid and ethereal quality of lines are achieved by hand-drawing the image on acetate using fine liners - the acetate is then processed in the darkroom using traditional documentary cameraless photographic techniques. Exposing the drawing to light creates a print without a camera on photographic paper, reflecting the rawness and essence of our own human lines, stripped down to black and white. The result is an attractive aesthetic that is both bold and delicate as well as modern and contemporary - perfect for admiring the nuances of traditional Indian culture and portraiture as a subject. Photo Rag Baryta paper Frame specifications: Black wooden framed photograms include a hand-signed white (PH-neutral) window mount and fixed sawtooth hangers ready for display. The frame comprises classic straight lines with a clear acrylic perspex for added protection.
