Kanha Hul, Taking Also Keeping, 2022, pigment ink on HP Matte Litho-realistic paper, acrylic, sewing silk, colored pencil, ink color, 35 3/8 x 23 5/8″.
“The fabric subtly embeds itself into the background, embracing the figures and offering a lens of translation through which aspects of the women’s individual narratives are accentuated and complicated. Conceptually woven from topics such as motherhood, agency, or social mobility (accounts of which the women shared with Hul during the photo shoot), the cloth operates as a collective stream of consciousness that alleviates the camera’s scrutiny to nourish a cosmos of divine femininity on humble ground.”
