Neha Vedpathak's "Transformation"

Neha Vedpathak’s performance addresses cycles of creation, transformation and existence to convey the constantly changing relationship of humans to the land. Focusing on a gentle and repeated gesture, the artist’s hands, and natural materials, the action leads to both creation and destruction.

Vedpathak is a multidisciplinary artist known for her inventive and original process-based practice. She was born in India and received a graduate diploma in painting from Abhinav Kala Maha Vidyalaya in Pune. Vedpathak is a keen observer of her surroundings and has a deep connection to her materials. 

This piece is presented in conjunction with "Energy Charge: Connecting to Ana Mendieta," an exhibition on view at the ASU Art Museum Sept. 24–Dec. 31.
