Masked in Nature – Exhibition of Ceramic Masks

“Masks we wear, the many faces for many occasions. Infinite expressions for varied emotions…a hundred different people within one simple person.”

– Rashmi Bhadkamkar
We invite you to Rashmi Bhadkamkar’s exhibition of terracotta masks mounted on hand painted boards, titled ‘Masked in Nature’. The marks give glimpses of faces within nature.

‘Masked in Nature’ in the artist’s words
“Sometimes pebbles turn into faces part or whole, while roots and earth take on the impressions of an enduring old soul. Trees dance to form flowing hair for a face in the

cloudy sky while tendrils and twigs are outlines of a face to the watchful eye. And when the trees become treated wood and stones turn to broken floor tiles, I see faces touched by human hands more structured and elaborate, they seem to my discerning eye. As the water flows, the earth folds, and the winds rustles, these images appear to quickly disappear; just like the fleeting expressions on the faces of you and I.”
