The exhibition ‘The Floor Keeps Count’ marks a turning inwards of Khemka’s interest in mapping the vicissitudes of urban environments and seeking possibilities of creation in decay. Prompted by the death of her beloved grandmother and the prospect of losing the house of her childhood, the artist turns her deconstructionist tools to methodically excavate the spaces of her ancestral home and her mind. Like a master bricoleur, she melts the geometries bounding these intimate spaces into their organic constituents before piecing them back from memory. The results are abstract portraits of the house and her grandmother, conveyed through a range of material alchemies. Both a homage and a deeper reflection on the processes of memory, ‘The Floor Keeps Count’ invites the audience on an intimate journey.
