Petal Talk

A short video created for Dock 6 Design + Art virtual exhibit 2020. 

"Each artist’s video ranged from three to five minutes. Many used it as a straightforward meet-and-greet or studio visit, but some, like Preeti Samraj, opted for conceptual approaches. Samraj’s contribution consisted of several time-lapse videos, in which she made and destroyed mandala-like patterns out of flower petals, blossoms and leaves. Her canvases included a baking pan, which she then put in the oven, scorching the vegetation, and a toilet bowl. There was a fond irreverence in her matter-of-fact composition and destruction. Her closing shot, petals against an overcast sky, lingered in my mind."  -New City
