- maker:
- Chila Kumari Singh Burman
Abstract print on silver dibond 'Raising the Roof' by Chila Kumari Burman, 2017, produced from an iPad painting, predominantly pink pattern. The frame embellished with mirror pieces.
One of 29 works produced by Burman as a commission to accompany the Science Museum’s ‘Illuminating India’ season in 2017-18. The works respond to objects and narratives in the history of science in India particularly to the exhibition ‘5000 Years of Science and Innovation’, as well as to the wider religious and cultural history of the sub-continent. This was Burman's first significant engagement with the history of science and medicine, with the works ranging across print, collage, photography and mixed-media, including experiments with iPad technology.
