Overview
“The grant help me to work towards the new project ‘Dadi ka Charkha’. I'm also grateful to Space118 for the social media exposure and connecting me to my desired mentor Rakhi Peswani and her guidance throughout the project. It has been a great journey working with Space118”
Payal Rajput completed her BVA in Painting and MVA in Mural, Faculty of Fine Arts, MSU, Baroda, 2018 and 2021 respectively.
Her work explores the ideas of ’home’ and ‘memory’ with an aim to understand how architecture brings embedded memories to the surface. Through the mediums of pottery, ceramics, and painting, Payal creates sculptures and emotional structures that take reference from her ancestral home, recording its state and transformation due to age and wear and tear.
Her practice is invested in exploring the ways in which ceramics (often seen as a solitary medium) can exist in conversation with painting, drawing, or photography.
Payal is lives and works in Baroda.
