"I draw a lot. Some of it is meaningful and other times it’s not. I write a lot as well. I figure out what I want to talk about in the work. Often it is a reference to a particular action or ritual. I try to honor it in the image and authenticate it with the particular visual ceremony and shrine.” Today on Maake we talk with NY-based artist Padma Rajendran, about presenting narratives, dreams, and celebrations amidst contradiction, her ritual of recording weather observations with text and small drawings, how textile and food are carriers of specific cultures and provide emblematic comfort, and more.
