‘THE PIERCING NEEDLE’<br />

GOPIKA NATH<br />

GOPIKA NATH works with needle and thread, photography,<br />

text and video to explore inner recesses of the mind. Uncovering<br />

stains - marks that create a sense of shame, fear, anger and<br />

more, which inhibit us from being more of what we can be,<br />

she negotiates this uncomfortable terrain with artistic skill and<br />

intellectual dexterity. The repetitive, physical process of piercing<br />

fabric with a needle is integral to a practice in which catharsis is<br />

‘JANANI’<br />

JAYASRI BURMAN<br />

The imagery in JAYASRI BURMAN’S work has a<br />

dream-like, lyrical quality. Inspired by Indian folk<br />

elements, her refreshing candour is as original as it<br />

is endearing. She weaves decorative elements of folk<br />

idioms into intricate patterns, without losing the<br />

charm and naivety that characterizes her work. Her<br />

concern for women is coupled with a proximity to<br />

nature where the viewer responds empathically to the<br />

unorthodox canons of beauty and choreography of<br />

nature.
