Kritika Manchanda (b. 1990, India) is an artist who lives and works in New York. Her artistic practice primarily engages with craft and textile, exploring themes of identity, space and the fragility of memory. Through her work, she revisits clothing, mementos, and artifacts from her childhood. Fine layers of textile, delicate underthings, and found objects are starched and compressed into preserved compositions. Manchanda creates works that seem to exist in a state of altered dimension, merging memory with material. She has exhibited at Emma Scully Gallery (New York, NY) and Lyle Gallery (New York, NY), and her work is held in several important private collections.
