Working primarily with hand weaving methods and clay, Sayan reimagines votive objects, folk narratives and indigenous rituals as ambiguous hybrid forms that function as totems, portals, amulets and guardian deities. The works in the exhibition draw from what Sayan has referred to as ‘ruminations on memory and identity,’ and from his research into lost or marginalised folkloric beings or female divinities whose attributes and powers have been subject to colonial manipulation, distortion and reinterpretation over the years.
