Aim & Object….ive

Art has always been inspired by past ideas, methods, techniques, materials and practice. These days, art is often digital, or machine made. Many people believe that this is a lesser form of art. However, I believe if modern artists can use ancient techniques, ideology and methods, it will give place to traditional art and keep history alive through contemporary forms.

My MA project, aims to research, explore and experiment with traditional/ancient Indian art methods and techniques, whilst using them in a modern context.

I’d like to present a diverse response to what it is to be and artist in contemporary society whilst trying not to lose traditional art methods, techniques and materials, as I know this is an area many artists struggle with.

This project, gives me an opportunity to produce a body of work that responds to this struggle.

" I aim to create my own juxtaposition of digital/technological techniques with traditional and ancient ones."
