TARQ presents Amba Sayal-Bennett’s first solo exhibition in India, Dispersive Acts, comprising a new series of sculptures and drawings. This show forms part of a larger body of work informed by research into imperial gardens and colonial botany. Exhibited across three sites: London, Mumbai, and New York, the work traces the movement of botanical matter across different continents. Sayal-Bennett experiments with different methods to engage with this colonial history. Her sculptures abstract geometry from garden layouts and incorporate floral motifs, using industrial materials such as resin and steel. These botanical elements, made through precise machine production, allude to the unnaturalness of gardens as controlled and subjugated nature.
