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.
This artwork is really unique as well. It catches your eye and its so interesting to analyze.
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeletePriyanka, you've written what i felt as i was mesmerised by the work. Bold, provocative, organic; very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThese paper cut-outs are so detailed with so many different elements to them. In one there seems to be a theme of consumption "you are what you consume". It is actually really interesting
ReplyDeleteI think this is an amazing collaboration of old and new. The old poses and figures and the new spin on medium and materials used to make the figures. It's great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Its good to see fresh content always.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the work I see here. If you were to look at the images separate from the piece as a whole they would convey a completely different meaning; however, having them placed in the way they are and with the other non related items, they produce a completely different message. My favorite piece on this post would have to be the woman's head is separate from here torso. I like how the image of the dismantled body is eased onto the viewer by the light colors and the flowers surrounding the piece.
ReplyDeleteWow these peices are amazing. I really like the foot with the flowers on the bottom. It reminds me of summer, walking barefoot through a feild.
