A narrative about energy, memory, and connection. Through the movement of her semi-rigid materials, her work depicts these narratives of shifting energy.
Discovery of an Artwork Archive Artist Nirmal Uday Bhatt is a ceramicist and sculptor based in Los Angeles, California. Her art, in addition to communicating a storey, balances dualities such as rigid/flexible and hard/soft to create space for the unknown.

"The sculpture is a self-contained entity that reacts and sways to its own internal logic with each movement I make." "Part of the pleasure of the job is moving back and forth in discourse in pursuit of balance and resolution," Bhatt explains.
Bhatt's delicate, flowing stoneware sculptures are made up of interconnecting links that have a remarkable lightness and delicacy, resembling woven chains. Her fascination with chain links and other permeable barriers stems from their ability to represent how "items and people occupy space in the environment, as well as conceptions of memory, identity, and storey," she says.
