Using near-expired, non-toxic materials, the artwork becomes a repository of energy for the microbial systems that live within the hotel, feeding organisms that go unnoticed in the human world. Concurrently, patrons are immersed in their own fleshly experience through reverberating colours, softened sound, rich aromas, and the anticipation of taste and touch. The installation splays across the floor, transforming slowly over the exhibition runs, echoeing rangoli’s ephemeral nature; however, at its culmination, the half-digested material will be recycled into new energy through its decomposition by millions of microorganisms, beginning a new cycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0eb7ee2487fdbab783b6c6/1553609506677-IUB8FDP2UMQI4GQQQQ59/grow+op+banners+-+web+%281%29.jpg Projects By ritualistically hand-dying the coconut and orchestrating a large scale, topographical rangoli, my work brings together human cultural and embodied practices while acknowledging the presence of the non-human world.

Comprises of a large floor sculptural piece made with desiccated coconut – a commonplace domestic commodity –taken out of context and adapting it to an experiential space to draw on the ephemeral nature of the practice and its connections to cycles of life and death. Coconut is used in countless capacities to nurture, heal, and nourish the body in the form of moisturizers, conditioners, and food. By ritualistically hand-dying the coconut and orchestrating a large scale, topographical rangoli, my work brings together human cultural and embodied practices while acknowledging the presence of the non-human world. Using desiccated coconut, non-toxic materials, the artwork becomes a repository of energy for the microbial systems that live within the installation, albeit harmless and not visually in plain sight, feeding organisms that go unnoticed in the human world. Concurrently, patrons are immersed in their own fleshly experience through reverberating colours, softened sound, rich aromas, and the anticipation of taste and touch.

Dessicated coconut.A floor-mounted, sculptural piece made with desiccated coconut will be splaying across the gallery floor . Building upon the tradition of rangoli, I have worked with desiccated coconut – a commonplace domestic commodity – to draw on the ephemeral nature of the practice and its connections to cycles of life and death. Coconut is used in countless capacities to nurture, heal, and nourish the body in the form of moisturizers, conditioners, and food. https://www.nonikaur.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-12-10 https://www.nonikaur.com/bio daily 0.75 2018-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0eb7ee2487fdbab783b6c6/1544470063985-VAEETECAXSZ7B707SN0I/IMG_4217.JPG Bio https://www.nonikaur.com/news daily 0.75 2019-12-05
