REsentment
2024-Textile
REsentment….what does it mean to resent?…to live with anger that boils under your skin. In this explorative, performative collaboration with the imagined artist Rekha Bhatta, Malashree partakes in the ancient practice of tying knots. “It is with care that I present my textile installation.
The different elements of the triptych reflect each other, but unlike a mirror, this reflection comes across as distorted: like memories that won’t leave you.” REsentment is a nod to the goddess of time, destruction, and death, and to angry women everywhere. Though her anger is supposedly divine and yours is supposedly earthly; in an unjust world, it is hard to parse the difference.
