When the Moon is Nine Months Full by Seema Kohli, Text by Shaunak Mahubani

Incessant turning of hands. Feverish flurry of numbers. Where do we enter stillness? Drawing from a deep practice of ongoing embodied research, renowned artist Seema Kohli foregrounds questions of time, labour, and movement in this new body of work. Deconstructing the hierarchy of the clock, the artist calls on us to lean in and imbibe the subliminal rhythms of our planet. The beating of hearts, phases of the moon, cycles of menstruation, flow of seasons sing forth from her vivid visions. These tellurian pulses foster connections between our bodies and the energies that move alongside, an antidote to the isolation of modern life. Adorned with mountains, stars, and trees, Kolhi's figures wear their interdependence as the full moon's light, a badge of love, of a kinship across species and materialities.
