Sangeeta Sandrasegar

I've always been a fan of Sangeeta Sandrasegar's delicate and morbid imagery. The paper cutouts,  so fantastic and organic in their form ,often draw their inspiration from verbose old text or poetry. This one speaks of a possessed woman who sets out to consume that which she nurtured, as the tables turn and she is the one being consumed. Death can be pretty. Sandrasegar is based out of Melbourne. She has been featured on MASALA CHAI before, here.

  2. As seemingly fragile the cut-outs may be on an individual, separate level, they become such a bold, provocative organism when combined altogether. As Allyson said above, they really are so interesting to analyse - really like the third one for instance, the fiery sun-head remains in one's mind.
