Nature Morte opens an online exhibition of collages of Maya Varadaraj.
Start with vintage images from the popular culture of India, specifically representations of women, the show also expands into the history into which the artist was born, her inherited identities, that she chooses to question. Varadaraj reorganizes these images, spinning them in a centrifuge, interrogating their factual status and histories. The end results are introspective mandalas, hoping to reimage reality, and diagrams to hypnotize the spectator into an alternative universe.
