Alpana Vij, originally from Delhi and now based in Singapore, creates works that reflect the natural cycles of decay and regeneration. Her practice is inspired by wabi-sabi, the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold leaf, and Buddhist concepts of shunyata, or nothingness. By incorporating elements from nature in her work - installations of darned decaying leaves, textured abstract paintings made with oil, wax, and graphite on wood (not included in the exhibition), and poured concrete on linen, Alpana uses detail, precision, and time as reflexive elements to draw attention to the care one should afford to processes of change. In the series A Remembered Place, she creates color-layered sculpture blocks that resemble geological strata, emphasizing the passage of time and the beauty in imperfection. As with the restoration of dying leaves, What do I see when I see a fallen leaf? it is the imperfection that makes something meaningful and precious, signposting its existence, its purpose, a life lived.
