SHIVANI AGGARWAL – Untitled, Acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 inches (diptych).<br />
SHIVANI AGGARWAL<br />
(1975)<br />
Shivani Aggarwal’s practice primarily started with the concept of layering. Her images dealt with the<br />
construction of an identity through clothes (a layer on the skin). How we layer ourselves in these societal<br />
norms, conventions and get accustomed to it is what Shivani’s work primarily deals with. These layers<br />
expresse the social, cultural and gender beliefs, which have been woven into the fabric of our minds.<br />
She is currently involved with images of ‘the rose’ where it becomes a metaphor for the self, memories,<br />
situations, or simply an object for discussion, which is being constantly constructed or deconstructed<br />
like a fabric. Threads, needles, scissors and numerous other elements related to sewing and knitting find<br />
way in her visual language.
