About the work:

Eco-Crip (2021) exhibits as a series of subversive, botanically-designed, and bio-digital x-ray prints developed through Artificial Intelligence, transmedial programming, and the artist’s personal medical archives and lived experience. 

The prints are in synergy with two single viewing, and one double viewing, x-ray light boxes matching the 20th Century design aesthetic.

Eco-Crip eludes to caring for the future through the integration of various disciplines such as ecology; decolonisation (focusing on science, art, technology, the natural environment, and ecology); intersectionality, and social and disability justice (pertaining to lived experience of race and ethnicity, disability, gender, sexuality, class, and religion). 

The artist’s use of this integration is guided through an ancestral lens as a mixed Punjabi-Hindi child of the Indian diaspora.
