Niyeti Chadha’s artistic practice is concerned with built environments, both the spaces which we inhabit and those which we abandon. She seeks to reconfigure landscapes to create imaginary spaces, sometimes bound and claustrophobic or intimate, other times unbound and unsettlingly infinite. Chada’s research examines different materials and their connotations within urban or exhibition environments, and her physical realisations see her layering these materials to create innovative spatial experiences. Working in drawing, collage and sculpture, many of the artist’s works defy their own materiality – characterised by the name of Chadha’s 2016 exhibition, ‘Weaving Shards’ (2016), which juxtaposes the traditional craft of weaving with the sharp modernity evoked by the appearance of glass.
