Reception: June 16th, 3–5pm

Cultured Interactions, a solo exhibition of works on paper by Guhapriya Ranganathan, explores the process of physical and spiritual change and growth through continuous interactions, movement and synthesis. Ranganathan relies on scientific research as a primary source for her work. She says, “Scientific research involves stepping into the unknown without fixed or definite answers. The abstract nature of the questions and the experimentation involved in research mirrors the process of creating art and becomes a metaphor for the experience of life.” Her works are reminiscent of maps that reference neurological patterns, memory, and travel, asking us to consider how changes at the microcosmic level lead us to visually and spiritually reflect on the macrocosm.
