2022

This yarn-embroidered bull by Savithri Velaga is a symbol of her cultural heritage. The sacred bull in Hindu mythology, Nandi, represents hard work and perseverance.

In this painting by Heather Hartman, lateral stripes of glossy metallic bronze are overlaid on a blue-grey painting featuring shadows of leaves in the descending sun. The blur effect on the underlying painting suggests that the leaves are blowing in the wind, and the disruption attributed to the hard-edged lines reminds us of window blinds...
