On view | Sri Thumati
Statement | Sri Thumati’s art making process begins with seeking out design and pattern in foliage. As she creates cyanotypes with the found material, she lets the process guide her sense of wonder and whimsy. This body of work was inspired by movement and communication in the natural world. She used the shape of a pentagon to illustrate the unconstrained nature of the image. The pentagons can be displayed in 5 different ways, yet they retain a sense of motion and energy, both individually and together, creating a flow between them. Sri displays the impact through shape and scale.
About Sri Thumati | Sri Thumati is a photographer and cyanotype artist based in Somerville, MA. Along with her freelance photography work in architecture and interiors, she makes functional and decorative art using an alternative photography method called cyanotype. In her art practice Sri has experimented with material and design as a way to understand and grasp the nuances of cyanotype. She has shown her work at multiple art fairs and takes commissions that help her push the boundaries of her imagination. Sri has also shown her work in public art installations and hopes to continue to share her work with the community.
