Summary
The show, curated by Kari Garber, a guest curator for the gallery and a student of Parasher's at Chatham University, is resplendent with stirring imagery and weighty with history. It's a history that's both global and personal. On the latter level, Parasher cites "mourning" as an inspiration for the pieces in the show. The Indian-born artist doesn't specify who or what she's mourning, but it doesn't matter: The viewer understands the process, and each of us has a personal frame of reference to draw from.
Within the murkiness there are bursts of light: In the former work, color vibrates lush and deep; the latter is relieved by rays of illumination. A landscape muddy with night in "If You Were Here" occasionally shows the promise of day, with radiance divulging powder-blue skies and snake-green trees. Faces reverberate upon themselves, concealing features and hiding identity. In both "Who Am I seeing?" and "Many Stories - One Silence," a countenance is echoed beyond recognition, but in each print, eyes blaze out like suns, clear, seeing, understanding.See the full content of this document
