Padma Rajendran

Padma Rajendran was born in Klang, Malaysia and now works and lives in Catskill, NY. By utilizing fabric of different hierarchies, Rajendran experiments with the clash and combination of patterning and structure. The composition and content of her work indicate duality that centers around multi-facetted definitions of Other and universal heritage. Encoding cloth with these adornments, inks, symbols, and scenes is a way to honor these stories, traditions, and strains. Rajendran’s work addresses observations and contradictory understanding of home, homecoming, and homeland.
