After moving to Madison, I joined the printing collective “Polka Press”, executing screen printing projects & maintaining the studio space.
2023
My senior show was a culmination of my time at Oberlin, primarily focused on comfort. So much of my work revolves around trying to find peace with the way I look, my racial identity, my relationship to sex, and familial histories of mental health issues.
I centered the works around a bed which I invited viewers to climb into with one another. This central relationship with one’s bed fascinates me, and served as a link between the themes I have often ruminated on while “rotting.”

8.5” by 11” drawings on paper using graphite, marker, and ink
4’ by 5’ acrylic on gessoed paper
This project started as a replication of an abstract marker drawing. I recreated the drawing 15 times with graphite on paper to capture the essence of the abstract figure. The work serves as an exploration of my detachment and incomprehension of my physical body.

Graphite, ink, and acrylic medium transfer on paper
“You, you, you, and me II” is part of a series revolving around my relationship at the time. It consists of acrylic transfers of the journal entries I was writing about my crush, versus the letters I was sending to him. I was considering romance and why it often feels so obsessive.

“Sweetie” is a collage of found mail between my mom and dad when they first started dating, as well as photocopies of Indian textiles. The figures represent some of my earliest memories of me and my sister sitting on the stairs in our house in London watching our parents fight in the kitchen.

Acrylic paintings on canvas
My time at Artists for Humanity defined me as an artist in many ways. It was one of the first spaces that I could emphasize my identity and experiences as a young woman and a mixed person. It also showed me that I was capable of working as an artist, from the age of 14. My time there forever linked me to teen art programming; I’m grateful to have honed my craft, but also to have experienced how impactful community art spaces that emphasize young people are.
