Meghna’s art practice explores the study of natural formations and geological patterns. The
co existence of our ecology and manmade interventions are reflected in her explorations
with mixed mediums. That include magnified glass and found objects along with other
materials reflective of the fragility of our existence.
Meghna’s painted drawings are influenced by her learnings while studying and restoring
historical art. She creates a textured surface using paper creating a fragile terrain, upon
which she draws formations of natural elements and creatures that adapt to an
everchanging environment.
