When Delhi-based artist Ashna Malik started working on the artworks for `Lines of Inquiry`, she was in an exploratory phase. While she did want to push herself to make it more visually engaging than before, it was only later that the artist, whose works are on display at Method in Kala Ghoda, had a realisation. It was about how through these works, she was trying to challenge the perception of the viewer, and their way of looking and understanding the world. It is only because Malik believes people’s view has been limited till now.

Even though she started work on them in 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic helped the works evolve because she had more time to create. Interestingly, this work uses a lot of lines as patterns and vibrant colours, one that the 25-year-old artist has honed along the way, and that is also what makes these artworks different, apart from the fact that she has used different mediums to enhance her compositions. If there’s one aspect of her work that these artworks depict, it is that Malik has gone beyond the traditional techniques. Simply because she finds them to be limiting in her scope of work, and in fact, it is quite fascinated by the intersection of art and technology.
