“These works move between painting, textile logic, and drawing in space. The two
paintings draw from early American coverlets alongside South Asian ornamental
traditions, using repeated floral and geometric motifs to think through inheritance,
migration, and memory. Line Dance extends those rhythms into sculpture, translating
pattern into a tactile, haptic register where painting enters space and line becomes
bodily. Across the works, ornament functions as a language of orientation, care, and
continuity carried across generations, materials, and forms.”

— Natessa Amin

“My training emphasized the importance of form, as well as the philosophy and history of art. The painting Common Ground reflects on our increasingly divided culture. In it, I synthesize two subjects that I have been working with for many years—playgrounds and skyscapes—to encourage viewers to appreciate that, though we may be looking in opposing directions, we are essentially standing in the same place, sharing common interests.”
