'engaging the NOWHERE', BRITISH COUNCIL GALLERY, MUMBAI, 1999
Matter Drawings 1

Matter drawings is a work in which an apparently unmoving bed of matter (iron filings) shows slow, silent and continuous movement in a pattern, if observed carefully. This is done by the help of a concealed system of motors and magnets.


I attempted to address the concept of movement in seemingly inert/lifeless objects around us.  A respect for such systems of awareness and evolution underlies the work.
