As an artist, Boshudhara Mukherjee had always drawn inspiration from her own feelings and experiences. Eventually, she got more adventurous and started to look beyond herself but for things that were still familiar — her cats or grandmother’s cupboard, for instance. It’s part of the reason why her latest solo at TARQ is called The Familiars. The other part of it though, stems from the Wicca legend of spirit guides who take the form of an animal or human, also called Familiars.
Six artworks are being displayed at the gallery, and Mukherjee, whose last solo at the space was in 2016, says a lot has changed in five years. “My earlier works were also made of canvas strips that were cut and woven, but the material has now changed. I would earlier use canvas that I painted on, but there’s a lot more fabric now. The shapes have become more organic, and I’ve done a lot of crochet, patchwork and stitching that I haven’t done earlier,” she shares.
