DIGITAL COPY ON MAGZTERSachin George Sebastian explores
paper as a medium, creating sculptures and
installations that explore the form and
construction of paper. He uses the idea of
newspapers getting stacked up over the
year in one corner of the house to depict
the growth of a metropolis representing its
stories and collective history in its archives.
The events that have repercussions in our
life are represented by the narrow lanes that
the newspaper stack metropolis leaves in
his paper city, and the shadows that they
draw. ‘Sometimes the idea itself evolves into
something bigger than that seed. If initially,
accepting that change was difficult, later
a lack of change bothers the execution. All
this to and fro in the mind as well as in
the output, continuously moulds me into
someone practising art,’ he says.Constructed Conversations, Sachin
George Sebastain, Laminated Digital Print
Mounted on Dibond, 84'' X 96'', 2015‘I like questions with
embedded answers.
But to stretch that
note a bit further,
the memory itself
started as part of a
larger living and
an observation of
one’s surroundings,
and I believe it’s
wrong to say an
artwork ends; it only
continues its journey
in further exchange
of imaginations by
different viewers.’ ‘Change in space always
changes the way an
installation is viewed as
well as the space itself.
The conversation
between the space and
the installation is a very
interesting level to play
around in and also to
observe as a viewer.’(^118) / ARTS ILLUSTRATED / FEB 2016 - MAR 2016 / IAF - Delhi Connecting Art
