ARTIST'S STATEMENT

The triptych, ‘Ways of Touching’ captures a look, a physical connect and a silent gesture as reflective of three different ways we recognize touch. It is part of a series of 200 drawings made in 2008 for SPARROW Women’s Archives publications of short stories and poems by women writers from different Indian languages, translated in English.
