Padma Rajendran
Primarily working in a textile-based practice, Padma Rajendran paints dye and resist onto silk in order to craft representational paintings that reflect on immigrant storytelling, womanhood, and the concept of home as a tended space.
Inspired by the storytelling and cultural presence of Batik, these pieces are created by drawing with a resist and then selectively adding and painting with dye.
