In Firangi Rang Barangi (Hindi for "colourful foreigner"), I explore the relationship between femininity, dress and hybridity. By combining Eastern and
Western textiles, garments and jewelery, I re-imagine identity across borders. These large acrylic paintings exhibit a fearless use of colour, bold
pattern and finely rendered detail. Each is layered with cultural history and personal style. While the surface of these works draw us in, the bodies
that they adorn are barely revealed - an inversion that suggests the role of sartorial expression in creating a sense of self, particularly one rooted in
a diasporic, transnational experience.
