TATE BRITAIN Rachna Johal, U6R, responded to an open call from the Tate Britain to participate in an exhibition called 'Home'. Weeks later her work was projected proudly in one of the most visited art museums in the world. Rachna explains her work: “Present” Is a part of a series of digital manipulations created to convey the nostalgia of childhood within my grandparents' home and the sensation of memories. Depicted is the window view from their kitchen. This piece explores domestic life specific to the British South Asian experience. The work focuses on daily rituals and congenial practises, such as the ritualistic aspects of domesticity that are liberating and soothing, being the act of preparing food or shared meals. “Present” explores the human relationships with place, and how multiplicity in culture is conducive to the concept of belonging and space. Straight after Sixth Form, Rachna hopes to impress UCL with her stunning body of work and secure a place in their Fine Art BA Course.
