About the artist
Natessa Amin's newest series of paintings and works on paper explores themes of memory, mysticism, ritual, and place. Embracing her transcultural identity as a lens — she is a child of the Indian diaspora brought up in Pennsylvania — Amin has developed an ever-growing lexicon of symbols alluding to notions of creation and destruction that she employs in these works to emphasize regenerative processes and cycles of healing.
