Divya Sharma is a London-based artist whose work reflects her lived experience, spliced with autobiographical and fictional narratives that explore possibilities to re-imagine the notion of belonging. Drawing from her own journey as a migrant, Sharma finds herself irresistibly drawn to the exploration of narratives that transcend boundaries and geographies. She creates monumental tapestries that imagine her interiority as an endless space. The labour and the physicality of the process are a metaphor for her rebellion and her tapestries are a vehicle for her to assert her individuality and personality. Sharma uses tufting in a very sculptural sense, by mixing and matching, and by layering yarn and adding other elements, she constructs a piece that gets to develop its own skin and mystery.
