MORE INFO
Pind (2026) takes its colloquial name from piṇḍa, a Sanskrit term meaning body, lump or mass, that references ground rice balls offered as sustenance for the deceased. Activated through pressing, accumulation, and dispersion, the work is created in the wake of the artist’s mother’s death; conjuring multidimensional metabolisation, metaphysical thresholds, and the psychic architecture of the dead.
Attending to the erosion of ritual practices that occur from political forces, Pind uses biological matter and dislocated materials from Hindu death rites as markers of loss and nourishment for the irreconcilable.
Pind transpires over three Piṇḍa Movements:
I: Protract
II: Accrete
III: Entropic Return
Materials:
Ground rice, black sesame seeds, ghee, honey, sugar, rose oil, kumkum powder, artist dried menstral blood, brass bell, Thames river water.
Pind has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
