“Choosing paper and ink is paramount to how an image unfolds, With Kozo and Washi paper, because of its organic quality, one has to relinquish control right away. It’s so quick to absorb every gesture that the making is in the moment; speed is of the essence. Yupo paper, which is polyester, is the opposite: every mark is deliberated and every line delineated. It’s like working with two different beings. Each demands attention of a different kind; one liberates colour, while the other contains it.”

“I tend to think of landscapes as affecting us most strongly when we are in them, but there are also landscapes we bear with us in absentia, those spaces that live on in memory long after they have withdrawn in actuality. The horizon line first appeared in my work in 2012, after the sudden death of a family member, drawing a line everyday became an act of remembrance and an act of hope, of acknowledging the abundance around us that contributes to shimmer, and the human spirit that rises despite the loss.” – Aditi Singh
