Biography
Moumita Das’s work is an homage to many histories: to a history of art and abstraction, to the practices and techniques of Indian artisans, especially weavers and dyers, and perhaps also, to domestic labor, which is often omitted from the category of art altogether. Despite these large categorical resonances, Das’ work remains intensely personal. History and personal life mingle as memories and experiences assume an artistic form. Throughout her solo show ‘Depth Charge’, Das’s work exhibits tension and collusion between these poles, sometimes encouraging us to engage with her work on our own terms through our understanding of art history, and at others, more through hers.
