| Details: | Working collaboratively--and with materials like thread, ink, video, photography, and ceramics--Nirmal Raja’s investigations can be intimate, beautiful, and wrenching. An interdisciplinary artist and curator, she carves a brave and questioning path via a persistent and focused practice. The artist calls upon a rich conceptual vocabulary to create work that has an expansive feel yet functions on an intimate scale. Whether embroidering with her mother, re-working clothing from family, or making castings of artifacts from travels and relocations, Raja connects and reformats, transforming objects and images so that the materials convey profound experiences. Embroidered fabric or the process of sewing pictured, medical imaging, pieces gathered from disparate communities, printing, video--these are called upon to probe feelings of displacement, the act of memory, and the aftereffects of historical omission and loss.
