In Search Of Lyricism

Gallery Chemould
Mumbai
2005
To give structure to the immediacy of feeling is a long-drawn out dialogue with the self. Kiyomi, continues to drive her thoughts towards those star-points of sensation, bringing into being, limpid sanctuaries that are experienced quietly, softly, as we would, our hour-glasses, in those moments of listless, existential doubt.   

Following the directions of her earlier work, of delving into reverie, into the fine balance of lyricism in song and the rapture of listening, Kiyomi proportions the single form and object discretely, pushing into play a rejuvenescence of abstraction.
