Artist's Statement
The Ocean Beneath
The Rabbithole, 2008
Animation. 2 minutes 55 seconds.
After Effects: Jaime Ekkens
Music : Karsh Kale
This animation activates the artist's interest in comics in a time-based framework. The narrative depicts a dream/journey in which the main character's fragmentation and regeneration are key moments in her transformation.
Her Shimmering Pulse, 2008
Digital collage: Lamda print on Kodak archival paper 67 x 50 in.
Inspired by diverse source imagery, including 20th century Japanese woodcuts and Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. This large scale panel depicts a carnivalesque world, in which daily social codes and modes of femininity are temporarily suspended.
The Ghostwriter, 2008
The Ocean Itself, 2008
Lenticular prints Each 19.5 x 26 in.
These lenticular prints feature manipulated moments from the 1978 Bollywood film Satyam Shivam Sundaram, in which Zeenat Aman's secret disfiguration in revealed. The images include poetic subtitled text written by the artist. The lenticular print is commonly featured in advertising and children's books. In these pieces, Ganesh uses a commercial form to evoke filmic movement, doubling, and fragmentation of the figure's face.
Deer Island, 2008
Mixed media on paper
23.5 x 18.5 in.
As with much of Ganesh’s oeuvre this two-layered work, made with Sumi ink, watercolour and mixed media (including clay and beads), combines imagery where the body is in a state of transformation. Behind the line drawing is text that hints to the content of a diary, journal or poem.
Poppies, 2008
Acrylic & ink on carom board 29 x 29 in.
This carom board painting is inspired by Smita Patil, known for both her unconventional beauty and the characters she frequently played in parallel cinema whose actions and desires challenged the norm.
