In Bangalore, I was lucky enough to visit The Museum of Art & Photography, where I saw some pieces from the body of work “We dont end at our edges” by Ravikumar Kashi, a Bangalore based artist and educator, centered around language and identity. He uses paper pulp to form letters of the Kannada script, generating the lattice sculptures in the photos here. I found this work to be extremely meaningful to me, as I wanted to work with paper to an extent as well, for a small installation. I also resonated with the themes of the work- language plays an important role in my identity, and I found it an interesting way to present this issue in such a way. I was inspired by this work to also consider working with more color with my lino than I had initially considered.
