Sonal is a storyteller. Her primary medium of choice is printmaking, exquisite etchings whose protagonists jump off the page to tell their stories. Like all good narratives that lucidly roll from one tale to the other the artist works in series. Be it her Kissa Goi or her new Vachik stories, each work comprises of many parts, all fitting together as one large work, or, equally as pleasing, as individual works that may or may not speak to each other in any combination of pattern. Sonal lives and works in Lucknow, in India, the City famous for its tradition of Ghazal poetry. In past times the poems were displayed in Diwan's (illustrated books) a calligrapher and artist would be commissioned to illustrate the poems. Sonal references these traditions and we can see traces of this in her contemporary images. Ghazal's delight and employ elements of playfulness, anecdote and surprise. They take their audience on a bitter-sweet journey and Sonal invites us to do the same.
The artist explains that in the evenings the women gather on the roof terraces of her town to tell the tales that are passed down. These are stories that primarily revolve around the woman and their everyday role in a patriarchal society. These tales become mixed with the contemporary, both local and global events that effect the lives of the women. At first glance there is an anecdotal quality to the visual narratives but look a little longer and you will be rewarded by layer upon layer of meaning. Through the clever use of text and images of objects which may at first appear to be dislocated, each part of the image pulls together the narrative, expanding it into many different levels.
In Sonal's own words,
This work is very close to my heart, a lot of emotions are attached to this work. Some such
feelings that awakened for the first time and they were priceless. I have lived that time, felt
it very closely, whatever happened to me at that time, I have tried my best to make it work.
Kajal has a very important role, when there are children and grandmothers complete it, it is
said that by applying Kajal in the eyes of the children, the eyes become bigger. Which we
call Nazarota which is a small iron vessel.
Kashmiri shawls are my mother's favorite shawl. Whenever we say this to her, we will take
it, she used to say no, I will not give it to anyone, you will spoil it. After mother's departure,
my sister wore it in her wedding, it seemed that mother is the same. My sister That algae
has to be preserved a lot.
Litchi is my favorite fruit. If I see it in the market, I have to buy it, I cannot come without it,
everyone says that my maternal grandfather has spoiled me a lot. Used to go and my
grandfather used to tell the fruit seller to give fruit at two places and no one used to eat
what was brought for me, I distribute everything but not litchi at all, I like it very much even
today and probably always.
No matter who the ‘marriage’; is, we start preparing for it well in advance. But this was the
wedding of my house, first of my brother and then of my sister, there would have been a
lot of preparations and a lot of tension as to how it would happen, who would do it, and
then everything goes well. In marriages, the bridegroom is often garlanded with money,
such a custom is very common in our Uttar Pradesh and I think on that day the groom looks
towards the monkey, and the bride wins.
The stage is decorated with flowers, we keep looking for flaws in that too. We Indians have
a habit of seeing flaws in everything. In the whole marriage, Harish is taken vedanshi in
shawl, he says that there is no complete photo of me.
There was a moment in the wedding when everyone together takes the bride's bracelet
and at that moment it felt as if we have grown up. Mothers have special importance in
marriages, no one can fulfill the lack of mother, mother had planted chrysanthemum tree in
our house, now it has grown very big, whenever something new happens, go and stand
near that tree. When she goes, it seems that she is the mother.
