STATEMENT
This series explores the conventions of the figure in painting and photography through the lens of historical colonial and Indian art. By placing the unfamiliar within the familiar the door is opened to questioning the identity of the “exotic other”.
In these images Western women who were raised either within the Indian subcontinent itself or simply born into it’s socio-religious heritage become, in one sense, the “other”. Their placement, the familiar contemporary Western cultural landscape, draws the viewer into their world and pulls at the seams of the notion exotic.
