Swapnaa Tamhane: No Surface is Neutral SwapnaaTamhane’s work challenges the colonial hierarchical separation between art, craft, and design in India. Her artworks include sweeping textile installations where space is transformed by fabric, colour, and light, and works on handmade paper. They harness different moments in India’s artisanal histories related to decolonization and freedom as a way to reflect on the presence and relevance of these themes today. Textile work is like drawing for Tamhane, a layering of gestures that can connect through time and space to many hands including her own: a community/ collective, an intervention, and a form of resistance. By engaging in Gujarat and Kutch regional histories, Tamhane brings them into dialogue with imperial and global textile histories in the twentieth century. SwapnaaTamhane, "No Surface is Neutral", 2019-2021, natural dyes and applique on cotton.
