Edition of 2
Installation
Vasundhara Sellamuthu considers themes of home, authorship and cross-cultural hierarchies through multimedia works. Sellamuthu’s printed text signs borrow the language of way-finding infrastructure to consider nicknames of cities, often in the Global South. Viewed through a postcolonial lens, these geo-verbal yardsticks are flipped through playful literary inversion to rejig the balance of power between places. Applying the principle of perspectival skew captures the experience of viewing signs from a moving vehicle and further enunciates a distorted worldview. Sellamuthu graduated with Distinction from the MA Fine Art course at City & Guilds of London Art School (2021) and holds a BA in History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London (2013). She was awarded Emerging Woman Artist of the Year 2022 by Stellar International Art Foundation and received The Useful & Beautiful Project commission from William Morris Big Local and Wood Street Walls in 2020. Show participations include 'Whim-Wham, ' 1B Window Gallery, London (2024), 'Rinse & Repeat, ' Hypha Studios at Sugar House Island, London (2024), ‘Cat Flap Blink, ’ Terrace Gallery, London (2024), ‘Cite – South Asian Heritage Month, ’ Lea Bridge Library, London (2023), ‘Common Ground&, ’ Copeland Gallery, London (2021), and 'Distant Fellowship - Morris and South Asia, ' William Morris Gallery, London (2021). Born in Coimbatore, India, she lives and works in London, UK.
