About the Item

Silk, wool, and thread Padma Rajendran was born in Klang, Malaysia. She studied at Bryn Mawr College and received her M.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design. She has exhibited at Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn), Beers London (UK), Field Projects (New York), September Gallery (Hudson NY) and BRIC Arts Media (Brooklyn), the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art (New Paltz NY), and most recently at Deanna Evans Projects (New York). She lives and works in Catskill, NY. Her work has been highlighted in Chronogram Magazine, New American Paintings, Maake Magazine, and The New York Times. Padma Rajendran’s work features familiar shapes and symbols concealed behind delicate fibers, dyed silk, ribbons, textured marks of dyed found patterns, plastic mesh and acrylic felt. Her process is related to drawing and captures moments of ritual within the domestic space from the momentous event to the banal. The soft abstract works continue the artist’s experimentation with different combinations of material and clashing patterns and structures. For Rajendran: “Home is a tended space, where the decorative beckons prosperity to flourish.” Her work addresses how immigrant women create and sustain their stories to hold onto cultural elements of their homeland. She is interested in the aftereffect of migration on interior life, rituals associated within the home and food culture, language and its loss and the emergence of hopeful traditions in sustaining life and the spirit. She strives to honor these women’s stories by bringing them out of hiding. Exhibited in "Talking Threads," Susan Eley Fine Art, Hudson, NY
