About
Why this artist matters now
Priya Nair produces large-format textile works that fuse traditional South Indian dyeing techniques with sculptural installation. Based in Kochi, the labor of fabrication is central to her practice, functioning not as process but as argument, each work a proposition made material through sustained physical work. Her pieces operate at the scale of installation, occupying space in ways that resist the wall-bound conventions of textile art.
