INSTALLATION ART RECREATING THE BRITISH SUMMER

Creators today are free from the shackles of pixels and pages. We can appropriate materials and objects around us to create more fulfilling and tangible experiences. For me it’s about making the ‘everyday’ more special. During my academic year at London in 2012, like every other outsider, I became acquainted with the famous British Summer which is awash with rains. Using this as a point of departure, I conceptualized this installation to create a play between exaggeration and substitution by repositioning ordinary objects to create an extraordinary image. It poses a question to the accepted rules of image-making.

“The art of collage can be as tricky as it is creative. Ruchi’s inventive use of paper, fabric and wire demonstrates a mastery of one of the key facets of art – how to tell a common story with uncommon materials.”
