In the womb of the land, Mumbai

Mumbai-based artist Ritesh Meshram’s latest body of work plays with metal sculptures, using the material to showcase its malleable nature, and showcase how the journey of metals and their miners are similar. ‘Metal is sound; Metal resonates; it is an expression of strength. Concurrently, it is also an expression of suppression. Despite its density, it’s malleability allows us to exploit, to manipulate as one desires,’ says Meshram.
In the womb of the land is on display at Chemould Prescott Road (3rd Floor, Queens Mansion, G. Talwatkar Marg, Fort), Mumbai until October 11.
