Tilt Towards Return navigates the spaces between nature and the built world through systems of shape, pattern, and form created using methods of printmaking and sculpture. Pakradooni creates a lexicon of glyphs that cipher and diffuses the entanglement of image and ornament associated with plant life, considering the slippage between function and beauty. Reflecting on the deep historical relationship of print to the decorative arts, works engage with applications of print to textile and paper surfaces alike.
Working in the printmaking method of monotype, the surface of her 2D works is created through layers of transparent information, a logic shared by their sculptural counterparts through the use of translucent silks and physical voids in their forms. The world-building in this exhibition is a call and response of discrete and intertwined processes, in which iteration builds association and elaboration in the relationship between flat and dimensional works. The sculptures act as supports for printed fabrics and paper, disregarded prints are recycled into sculptural material, and prints reflect shape and form within the sculptures themselves. These rhythms of symbiosis and separation are emphasized in reflection and removal in which elements are repeated, lost, or elaborated over individual works.
