Sandhya Mulchandani Art

🖼️ Sandhya Mulchandani, Nightlight Fish, Paper mâché Sculpture, 49 X 48 X 20

🔸Artist Statement:

Smriti Sutra grows from the pull of memory, cultural lineage, and the quiet, tactile rhythm of paper mâché. The work begins with small remembered gestures and childhood tales that stay with me, held alongside the Gond visual language of pattern, rhythm, and interconnection that has shaped my way of seeing. These influences guide sculptures that explore how identity is formed, carried, and reimagined across time and place.
Working within this lineage, paper mâché becomes a slow, intuitive process—each form built through touch and layered accumulation. Its softness and resilience mirror the way memory behaves: fragile, persistent, and textured. As each figure finds its posture, it holds traces of both personal experience and inherited ways of understanding the world.
The themes that shape this body of work include memory as a living force, cultural inheritance, belonging, and the fluidity of identity shaped by movement across geographies. Folk motifs, spirited forms, and rhythmic patterning become ways of considering how stories travel with us, how they shift, and how they continue to root us even as we change.

What a beautiful Saturday at Signal Point.
We explored Gond art, its roots, its rhythm — and then everyone painted a story of their own.
Live music, generous conversations, and brave storytelling made the room glow.
Here are a few moments from participants sharing the tales behind their canvases.
