Yamini Nayar graduated in 1999 with a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and obtained her MFA in 2005 from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has exhibited at numerous venues throughout the East Coast, including at the Queens Museum of Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem. The artist lives and works in New York.
Yamini Nayar presents large-format digital photographs of imagined environments, delicately constructed from an assemblage of found objects and archival photographs. Each evokes an alternate reality, replete with historical and cultural associations. Suggestive of a lost era, Being There and Sincere present interior spaces of declining grandeur. In contrast, Note to Self depicts the lowliest of domestic spaces with its bare mattress and lone coffee cup resting on the floor. Yet this mundane space is elevated by the charming inclusion of patterned embroidery on the wall. Her practice endows the humblest of objects – a coin, a shard of plaster, a crumpled bit of aluminum foil – with uncanny significance, eliciting nostalgia for an unknown place and time. Through her meticulous and poignant arrangements, Nayar explores the illusory power of photography and the ambiguous space between fantasy and reality.
