While waiting for the geyser to heat, 2018

This piece is part of a series entitled Recalibration of a domestic space, which was shown at India Habitat Centre in Delhi in 2018. The starting point is a reflection on a situation whereby the artist found herself inhabiting, for a while, someone else’s house. The pieces explore the way one tends to recalibrate that domestic space to recreate familiarity. Simple forms developed organically create an inside and outside space on which narrative elements are depicted. The small scale of the pieces creates intimacy and the use of black and white echoes the sketches at the heart of the creative process.
