Aditi Singh’s densely worked, often large scale drawings are generated–over extended periods of time–through the meeting and clashing of mediums: paper, ink, graphite, and charcoal.
It is the transcendental quality of Yoga and art I am drawn to; of quietly, rhythmically, getting rid of all that is extraneous, of reaching a placeof resonance, where there isn’t a distinction between the inside or outside of an experience.
What interests me is the interplay between letting an image hover and allowing it to settle into a geography. The tenacity of a mark depends on the velocity of touch. There is a synergy, a tension, in watching ink and charcoal slide against each other building tone, texture, and rhythm; gathering nuancesof connection or dissolution, each lending an emotional hue.
