Entrapment and struggle; golden movement of colonial wealth; red marks of pain, hunger, and lives lost. Through material and color, the work exposes the human cost hidden beneath global commerce and imperialism; all whitewashed today.
Rooted in the history of the Indigo dye (Greek, meaning from India), this abstract mixed media work speaks to the colonial exploitation of Indian farmers forced into cultivating indigo plants under oppressive contracts. Indigo dye fueled Britain’s Industrial Revolution factories, coloring naval uniforms “navy blue,”. Indian farmers were barred from growing food crops to favor indigo, pushing millions into debt and famine.
