Capturing Grace
This series of photographs portrays a partnership between me, the photographer, and Mallika, a movement and visual artist. My interest in abstract shapes, lines and color intersects with her ability to move elegantly through those spaces, creating an additional dimension.
On a deeper level the work is about finding and forming an intergenerational friendship via artistic collaboration. Through our work and conversations we share a part of each other’s worlds and artistic aspirations.
