In this talk, Shrimanti shall discuss how in her art practice, drawing becomes a tool to unravel images and develop layered story structures with references from a range of sources like history, literature, mythology, science fiction, comic books, art history, miniature paintings, news reports, as well as memory, conversation and personal experiences. As an artist working majorly in the medium of drawing and painting; she shall share images of large scale drawing based works on paper and elaborate on the references in them, the process of making and the thematic implications that they may have as contemporaneous, layered narratives.
