Shivani Khoshia brings together mythology, storytelling and non-Western belief systems to explore the connection between the physical and the spiritual, and alternative states of consciousness and understanding beyond the observable and current socio-political paradigms.
She draws on philosophy, psychology and geomythology to generate a creative practice across drawing, painting, sculpture and installation. Through these media, she explores the realm of images between the memory and the collective unconscious as a transformative and healing tool.
