Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS\/SITE Archives:<\/h3>\n

“The 12 Kalpas Tale is the artist\u2019s personal search for the contemporary echoes of the folktale Twelve Sisters, reimagined and translated into multimedia artistic forms that are intended to mirror the issues facing the current globalized epoch while rooting in the long cosmic history. Ultimately the project is an investigation and an attempt to shed light on the questions concerning human place in nature, gender, binary, technology and transcendence. At the core of her practice is the intention to find connections between dualities within these realms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kalpas (n.) a Sanskrit word used in Buddhist cosmology to mean a unit measurement of a very, very long time, such as the duration of the universe. “<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
