Although space and form is central to Ayesha Sultana's practice, the works in the project by Sultana anchor themselves in pulse. In medicine, a pulse represents the tactile measurement of the cardiac cycle which is inherently repetitive in nature; yet outside the constricting definitions of medicine, a pulse occupies space, time and form, and the only property that carries forward from its primeval definition is repetition.Repetition is fundamental to Sultana, whether in mark-making, folding or expanding and becomes an embodied experience. A range of mediums and materials also co-exist in the presentation. Gouache drawings that decipher sonic readings; sculptures in brass and wood that represent three-dimensional form that falling liquids may have; a reverse canvas painting, pleated and turned over to conceal than reveal, Sultana explores the understanding of material and process and how they manifest in the expression of form.
