————————

Ayesha Singh (b.1990, New Delhi) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice creates sites of discourse and record that question the assumed permanence of buildings and the histories omitted during construction, restoration and destruction. In doing so, her work acknowledges the aspects of architecture that embed power dynamics and the location of identity- in terms of aspiration, desire and belief.

Singh’s work titled Hybrid Drawings combines India’s cultural heritage sites–the coexistences and disjunctures–through the dissecting of architectural lines. Singh’s works exist as transitional zones that one can walk through and around, giving each audience member the opportunity to carve their own path. Looking at different vanishing points, her work deals with perspective and the ways in which forms and histories overlap and how complexities can be flattened and revealed through perspective itself. The artist looks at Liminal Gaps as moments in the present where history and significance can be altered, removed, or made unfamiliar.
