TANMAYA BINGHAM

STATEMENT

Tanmaya Bingham's artworks investigate the mechanics of human dynamics and the neurological processes that create patterns in our daily lives.

Tanmaya’s focus is on psychological, sociological and genealogical patterns that occur within the context of herself and her immediate circles. Although the content of her work is highly personal, the themes are universal. Each artwork or series of artworks explore these themes and how they can be altered in the given context to create new patterns and thus new results.

Tanmaya chooses herself and her family and friends as her primary subjects because she believes that we learn through example and the stories of others. Therefore, each artwork, whether painting, sculpture, drawing or installation, is laden with symbolism.

When these concepts are delivered in visual form they become a metaphoric map that is meaningful for both the subject and the viewer.
