Chitra Ganesh | The Wolf Watcher's Dream Monoprints

Beginning with a watercolor monotype, artist Chitra Ganesh layers techniques such as screenprint, embroidery, and hand-painting to build her compositions in her latest series of monotypes with Durham Press titled The Wolf Watcher's Dream. The artworks are simultaneously delicate, striking, and loose, inviting you to enter into the worlds Ganesh has created within her abstract landscapes. Vast washes of color act as a backdrop for Ganesh's screenprinted imagery, accentuating the seemingly limitless horizons expanding beyond their boarders - expressive heads emerge from the atmosphere, a diver is perched weightlessly above the ocean - diffusing a sense of space in these airy yet grounded dreamscapes.

Both prophetic and reflective, Ganesh's The Wolf Watcher's Dream becomes more insightful each day. We see bodies floating, ungrounded and detached in a world lacking its usual bearings; hands reaching from the sky into vast empty space and heads floating in the apocalyptic orange skies that have become all too familiar. Though, seeing again, perhaps the figures are looking past and rising above the horizon. A hand reaches towards you to pull you along. The Wolf Watcher's Dream continues to unfold in its changing surroundings.
