“form . residue” is a solo exhibition exploring the beauty of the Earth’s overlooked materials through two interconnected bodies of work: “Ashma” and “Mrida”. Mrida, derived from Sanskrit, means earth, soil, or clay, while Ashma means stone or rock. Together, they reflect the elemental materials that shape our landscapes, histories, and built environments.

Working with acrylic, limestone, natural earth pigments, and mineral-based materials, the abstract paintings draw directly from the colours, textures, and geological formations found within soil and stone. Layered surfaces and organic marks reveal the complexity embedded in these seemingly ordinary materials, challenging the perception of earth as merely “brown dirt” and stone as simply “grey rock.”

“form . residue” encourages a renewed way of seeing—one that uncovers the subtle beauty and complexity of earth and stone. Rather than reducing these materials to muted, monochromatic surfaces, the exhibition reveals their rich spectrum of colours, and textures, inviting viewers to appreciate the elegance of the world beneath their feet.
