I am Janaki, a trained Architect and a self-taught Visual Artist based in Pune, India. While I was born and brought up here I have also called Australia home for more than a decade until 2019. Currently I have a dual practice in Pune where I undertake design as well as art projects. You can view my design work here.
I began my journey into the world of paper art in Sydney. I hand cut sheets of paper into intricate visual stories and explorations. My love of reading and travelling finds an influence on my work. I also turn layers of newspaper and novel paper into quirky animal sculptures. I enjoy getting my fingers into opportunities that challenge and open up my world of paper a little bit further. I work on illustrations, personalised commissions, exhibitions and installations. Recently, I have also started working on large scale sculptures in laser cut steel and MDF. |
