Longing… longing was the prompt for this art. Longing for spring, longing for someplace sunny to dry my clothes in the sun in the balcony. During the quarantine when things slowed down, every single day I longed to wash my clothes and dry them in the balcony so much so that I started looking at all the high rise buildings I’m surrounded with in NYC and imagining what it would be like to see someone drying their sari in the balcony – uff there’s so much adda (grace) in the act of putting clothes to dry after a bath, wet hair dripping! I couldn’t stop thinking about the sight of this balcony I used to look at all afternoon during the part of quarantine I spent in india and then one evening when I was walking through Manhattan, I looked up saw this shadow dancing on a building, it all came together and became a lucid dream and then it took the form of this art. Scroll to see some of the visuals I’m talking about!
I’m forever inspired by afternoons and the sights I relate to them from my childhood in Bihar watching women of my house going about their day and the moon that sometimes makes a sudden early appearance!
P.S. I highly recommend zooming in into the artwork so I know I don’t have a crooked neck for nothing! Pardon this vague writing, words fail me and I’m still dreaming.
Limited Edition Prints to be available in my shop later today.
