Dash shapes, manipulates, and molds the materials herself, as the works becomes something of a physical archive. Through these delicate and time-consuming processes, the artist’s bodily interaction with the material becomes clear, with marks of its making and traces of the artist’s hand embedded in the surface of her quiet compositions.
N. Dash’s minimal abstract works are driven by an interest and engagement with materials. Beginning with an intimate knowledge of her material choices—usual suspects include graphite, jute, twine, wood, and an unusual Adobe clay—Dash creates simple compositions that foreground the qualities of her materials.
