Paintings

Ms. Moorthy's paintings look like intricately woven mats. They are long, unframed canvases that acquire the tactile quality of thick woven threads as she squeezes mixed media paint into linear forms using handmade cones. In her words "I am inspired by the traditional Southeast Asian art of mehndi which is worn during a wedding and festive celebrations. I celebrate an idea with each of my paintings."
