Harman Taneja

Harman’s artistic exploration extends beyond conventional boundaries, as she endeavours to challenge and reshape the inherent rigidity of materials. Seeking curvilinearity, often absent in our structured surroundings, she pushes the boundaries of production and materiality across various scales. Her work rebels against established norms and rules, disrupting the prescribed cubes and set structures. Resin has become a key medium in her artwork, seamlessly blending with elements like water, concrete, and found material from construction sites. In her series of artworks, Harman draws inspiration from construction sites, weaving a narrative that explores the interplay between two opposing forces: structure and fluidity. Her chosen medium, liquid resin, becomes the transformative agent, poured into crafted structures that echo forms of homes. Within these resin-encased structures, she incorporates materials sourced directly from the construction site where she immerses herself in the creative process. Examples include terrazzo, a liquid substance or paste that takes on a structured form when poured into moulds—a metaphorical reflection of how our memories and identities take shape within the structured confines of a home.
