In the epiphancy of a cloud; ectasy within a knit 20 kg of metal knitted by hand into a hammock scape.
I imagine clouds in the city scape- hooked up to anything.
Big Appetite; gives form to many courses. A big appetite is formed by the many servings of desire-
when one in love. Created from the many plates we eat on. Deconstructed and reconstructed stories of love.

In Leftover Love and Other Stories, Elena Pereira a Bangalore based artist attends to the struggle of life’s demands contemplated within one’s private living space. For her the home is where we refresh ourselves on a daily basis, ready to go out in the world. How can we remove ourselves from the staleness of our past intimacies and vulnerabilities to start anew is what she is trying to understand. Calling attention to the impermanence of life itself, she uses nature as a muse, destroying flowers – capturing their imprint as an essence before they disappear forever. Harvesting a desire for capturing and preserving life, the artist imprints these precious moments on wallpapers, fabrics, onto our beds, table, lamp, carpet and kitchen.
