"How Did You Get Here?" by Amla Rashingkar
Oil on Canvas
24’’ by 36’’
I make art to visually explore what I find interesting. My work references my interests, my thoughts, my physical being, and places and memories I hold close to me. I use these as inspiration to create worlds and snippets to dive into; I welcome unfamiliarity and embrace the uncanny valley. Drawn to the additive and reductive nature of charcoal and oil paint and the idea of layering when making work, I'm fascinated with the idea of the ghosts of images and how intentionally obscuring or showing a figure or brushstroke can alter the perception of an image. The precision and finality of creating with pen and ink resonates with me–every mark made is final. My work sparks questions, hoping the viewer conceives their own answer.
