WORK STATEMENT

Using ceramic as a medium, Shweta tries to express intangible thoughts or intensely felt emotions through the silent voice of clay. Her work responds to ideologies or philosophies that prod her to introspect, mulling deeper, pushing her gently to explore the multifaceted layers under the water washed landscape of life and living. For her, this creative process has always been in deep conversation with silence and plays a vital part in her spiritual quest. She works with a lot of unglazed clay surfaces, marked by the elements, metallic salts, smoke and flames leaving their imprints on the clay's naked skin. Even while using similar techniques each of her artworks survives its own passage through fire, living out its individual metamorphosis to evolve emerging completely unique… its story resonates with our own human journey of life. Her art is a reflection of reverence for life-force. It responds to her fascination with life's potential to perpetuate unconditionally and its resilience to survive victorious over the harshest circumstance. The work primarily speaks of the centri-petalled seeking to know that which lies within, shedding external layers of sheaths and conditioning, returning to innocence. She views herself as an open bowled seeker flowing with complete faith in life's wisdom to lead her.
