Prabhavathi Meppayil s/twenty seven, 2025
Copper wire embedded in gesso panel
121,9 x 121,9 x 5 cm
Prabhavathi Meppayil's work consists of a panel covered in layers of white gesso in which copper wire has been embedded. Excavated through a lengthy process of hand-sanding, the fine wire becomes visible in places, forming a pattern of delicate parallel lines. Appearing light grey where they are still slightly hidden in some sections or sometimes on account of slight oxidation, in others the metal shines with subtly luminous color.
