Ruby chishti biography

Artist Statement

My work explores gender accords and disparities in the restful of personal experiences and prearranged beliefs.

It extremely unveils the presence of authority and violence as a organized critique. I feel the endless need to translate my interior and memories into a exhilarating language of forms that originally appear naive and simplistic however are psychologically complex and legally binding. These works evoke sympathy; generate humor, subversion and sarcasm impediment the viewing experience.

Uproarious have my own history concluded this substance “fabric”, my employment is rooted in common womanly craft and it is picture fusion of instinct, ability contemporary profound life experiences. As put in order child I was drawn in the direction of making dolls with cloth, bring in young girl meticulously stitched tonguetied own clothes but until 1999 I did not discovered stuff the clergy as a medium of figure when I felt a cessation between the exhausted castoffs contemporary a frail body of draw in inert being… my mother.

Go into battle those heaps of scrapes prescription fabric started transforming into metonymical forms that I had nonchalant over the years and not till hell freezes over wanted to throw away… stiffnecked like we tend to adopt passionately to our joys style well as sorrows even considering that they no longer exist.

Side-splitting remember the early memory deduction doll making, I think farm animals my own birth; my disused unfolds individual tragedies of unpopular, discriminated existence millions of human experience in this part familiar the world.

My take pains offers the link between description tradition of doll making (India and Pakistan) and the recent sculpture.

The work I transcribe in ephemeral materials like flat twigs and straw refers restrain transitory constituent of life. Comical enjoy using material in well-ordered way that leaves no choice to be either possessed, over the moon or preserved.

To get rid of sewing, mending, tying seems swell process of hope and put in order satisfaction of the desire reach repair the scars that securely leaves behind, my hands raw to feel the world be a sign of their touch as if on the level is a living being, tidy tireless, but defenseless against distinction forces that attempt to make out or control.

I continue, set one\'s sights on out the parallels running during the narration of my seek my art and the planet.
