PAUSE is an immersive site-referential installation that was inspired by the witnessing of a daily act of drying natural fabric on a 3-dimensional framework in Rajasthan prior to applying dyes or color. The practice and the resulting artwork thus have its roots in India’s complex and historical association with textiles and the social implications of the industry.
Responding to the heightened anxiety across ages and geographies, the work is informed by the intensifying climate crisis, the advent of AI, addiction to digital social platforms, wars, increasing displacement and migration, and the growing global shift towards authoritative leadership. Within this landscape of uncertainty and unease, viewers are invited to explore and reflect on a more extensive manifestation of the artist’s initial experience by walking through hanging panels of unbleached fabric. As viewers traverse the work, the 18’ draped cotton khadi, will touch skin, face, or fingers either intentionally or accidentally; compelling the viewer to be more present and mindful. The piece offers an opportunity for a pilgrimage of sorts, a transformative journey that can be healing, spiritual, and meditative. The path or circulation through the installation is self-determined, allowing each participant to find their own rhythm and direction through the work.
