Ink on Canvas

Seema’s signature style of ink on canvas was developed over 5 years of experimentation, during which she developed various techniques to transfer ink onto the canvas using plastic sheets, paper, fabric and syringes. Using and manipulating the surface tension of the canvas, she coaxes the ink to move over the surface, slowly drying as it’s being pulled by gravity. Each artwork is made by applying the ink in thin layers, sometimes going up to 20 layers in a piece. Each layer takes between 30mins and 4 hours to dry.
