Tissue paper, rice paper and printed materials are torn, reassembled and embedded, forming complex topographies that shimmer like the ocean’s surface and seduce like the ocean depths in Chudamani Clowes's tapestries. These mixed media compositions evoke the turbulence of the seas as both a site of passage and peril. Her titles, inspired by Japanese haikus, extend this poetic sensibility by distilling the vast emotions into evocative titles that offer a moment of reflection amidst chaos. Through these tactile and sedimented processes, Clowes makes visible what is often submerged – layered histories of migration, environmental degradation and colonial continuities – rippling beneath the waves of our shared seas.
