Priyanka Dey’s creative process revolves around experimenting with and leveraging obscurity. She aims to create work that plays with optics of perception. The work functions as portals and screens, in dissolving states that are not readily accessible. Dey’s process balances a calculative yet intuitive paradigm which resists definitive categorization. Throughout the process, she tries to respond to the paper spontaneously - a seemingly perpetual dialogue- instead of having a concrete and all-encompassing plan for the drawing. Her process employs a deep emphasis on the craft of creating the work, yet in terms of approach it is loose, embracing a component of chance.
