Eesha Chordia Le Cerf
My body of work has moved through several different ideas, but they all relate to the theme of womanhood. I have tried to explore this theme in a few different ways – by looking at culture, a poem about equality written in Hindi framed across my self portrait, by looking at family and fashion, as well as exploring different cultures and women of all ages. My works have incorporated sculptural and textural elements and I’ve used a number of processes to adapt the medium to my purpose, such as the use of traditional Indian fabrics which enable me to embrace my cultural heritage. I began IB Visual Art as a painter, and this has been the basis for the majority of my work. My works have a bright and playful palette. I use photographic references and usually have a photo shoot before starting a piece so I have the image to base the paintings on. 18
