Shreya Mehta
"Pathways" Acrylic, Ink and Thread on Canvas, 30" x 36", 2019
Defined by the variants, this piece experiences constant transformation along the canvas. The geometry shifts from rounded into sharper subdivisions, the colors move up to warmth, and most notably the stairs move downwards, upwards and to both sides. Any point can gracefully be taken as a path to any other point, deconstructing the linearity of normal routes and moving towards multiplicities.
