Walking Wings | Preksha Tater

‘Walking Wings’ is a collective yet fluid reflection of little episodes, intimate encounters between characters and figures, between line and color, between the figurative and the abstract from her everyday life. Walking is suggestive of gradual movement in a pace and capacity chosen by oneself, it’s the sheer resilience in the spirit of infinite possibilities. The interwoven narrative between the works is not linear or progressive, rather they accumulate into an abundance of delicate moments and a complex spectrum of emotions. Although each work is in itself subtle and refined, the juxtaposition of the varied scenes create a profound exploration of human emotions.

This exhibition gives a peek into Tater’s practice of the last 7 years that include drawings on paper and sculptures.
