Shambhavi Singh: To see a world in a grain of sand …

Singh appropriates, distorts, and symbolically creates surfaces and patterns within nature; raised in a farming family, it is the rural landscape, the farmer, and agricultural implements that find form in her practice.
So the sickle, used primarily for harvesting or reaping, is magnified in scale not just as an implement but a metaphor. It becomes a ‘point of entry’, where eight hundred sickles multiply to become birds in flight. Woven sieves become recollections of hidden narratives of those women at work – husking the grain … Singh merges the perceptual and conceptual knowledge in ever-changing forms.

This exhibition is curated by Sasha Altaf.

To 27 October.
