Artist Anu­rad­ha Bhau­mick stitch­es col­or­ful inte­ri­or embroi­deries that show­case peo­ple enjoy­ing their liv­ing spaces. Home, par­tic­u­lar­ly the objects that sur­round us, came into focus like nev­er before in the year 2020. Anuradha’s work speaks to the impor­tance of those things.

“My idea [in my work] is to ele­vate the monot­o­ny of every­day life with the mun­dane itself,” she says in an inter­view with The Curator’s Salon. “I don’t see objects as non-liv­ing things. The objects that lay around us, make me, ME. The book­shelf, the alarm clock on my bed­side table, the globe which makes me want to pack every­thing up and leave for the great unknown, my teak­wood chair where I’ve spent hours read­ing my book, they are as much alive as I am. I am because of them. I don’t see these as just dec­o­ra­tions or ameni­ties, these are the per­son­al­i­ties that build me. The pati­na on an old leather bag or knee rips on my jeans from being a clum­sy skater are the build­ing blocks of life. These are for­ev­er my inspirations.”
