LIMINAL OCCURANCE
Expanding on her recent body of work created in porcelain and paper fibres, Savia Mahajan articulates in the form of thought, shape and object; an inquiry of the in-between state of life and death, sleep and wakefulness, freezing and thawing, grief and healing. A state that is transitional, subconscious and suspended, known as the liminal state. Creating an atmosphere that evokes the flickering perception of a phenomenon, these “ghost-white frozen” objects emit a hint of residual colour and pose as transitional entities; passing the viewer through an ambiguous realm that has few or none of the attributes of the past or the coming state.
