The Tactile Poetry of Hemp and Form
Mrinalini Mukherjee’s work emerges from a profound dialogue with the organic world, presenting a sensory experience that is as much about touch as it is about sight. Born in Mumbai in 1949, she revolutionized the sculptural landscape by eschewing traditional, heavy media like stone or metal in favor of dyed and woven hemp fiber. This unconventional choice allowed her to create works that possess a unique, fleshy vitality. Her sculptures are characterized by sensual, undulating shapes and complex, knotted textures that seem to pulse with an internal life, often drawing inspiration from themes of fertility and the intricate patterns found in nature. Through her meticulous process of dyeing and weaving, she transformed humble fibers into monumental, contemporary icons of organic beauty.
