A gun forged from lawnmower parts: beauty at gunpoint.
Just as Babur’s homesickness brought the charbagh gardens, lawns plowed through orchards and parterres as nostalgia for the British. A monoculture; sterile, seasonless, laborious, yet lawns remain firmly rooted even today, giving us the idiom ghaas katna : meaningless toil.
Wolf was founded by Ritu and Surya Singh to create inspiring environments and speak about much needed change. They use scrap, discards and found objects to construct fantastical narratives informed equally by history, mythology and ecology. Materials and materiality are central to their practice, which they look for in flea markets, scrapyards and family archives, allowing them to connect personal narratives to broader social concerns. Along with their artworks, they also create ephemeral, immersive environments and large scale installations.
