Matter as a state of mind

Teja
Gavankar’s artistic practice explores form and its qualities in
pictorial space. Trained as a painter, Gavankar’s interest shifted
from two dimensional representation to three dimensional space during
her post graduate study wherein her forms and their perceptual fields
began to be reshaped. Materials, their possibilities and limitations,
play a significant role in the way these shapes deform, skew or
distort in her work. Gavankar will touch upon the importance of
new forms, how they get modified by the physicality of material, and
what happens when we perceive them back. The lecture contemplates
upon how we expand our associations and the way we see the
world around us.
