The Sketchbook Project: If You Lived Here
Exhibition
Group exhibition at Brooklyn Art Library, New York, 2011
Overview
About the exhibition
The Sketchbook Project is a constantly evolving library of artists’ sketchbooks from across the globe. The sketchbook is given a barcode with a unique number – this allows the Art House Co-op to keep track of the book and record every time it’s viewed at the Brooklyn Art Library and on tour. The sketchbook is catalogued on the Sketchbook Project website where it can be viewed globally.

Artist's statement
Rationale
This book comprises sketches and poetry inspired by my Indian heritage. I experiment with using collage as a medium to explore facets of my cultural identity, particularly through the use of textiles, bindis (decorative forehead jewellery worn in India), and line art depicting ethnic scenes with which I identify from the perspective of the Indian diaspora.
