Mandeep Singh  ਮਨਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘNaarm Based Artist
Feed Overview

South Asian artist living, learning and working on unceded Wurundjeri land. Employing experimental photography and sculpture to explore themes of cultural and personal memory, Singh’s practice allows her to relearn her Sikh identity from a diasporic positionality. A major interest for Mandeep is collaboration, letting go of ego and allowing art to be made by multiple hands. This can elevate work and create a space for artists and materials to speak with one another.
Singh reinvents the past and present through diverse materials, often working with natural and found objects.

Lungs of the River

Lungs of the River is a collaborative sculptural and sound installation responding to the Birrarung. Textiles, seed pods, moss and pistachio shells form a living, breathing, sensing organism, depicting a breath of life, and an interconnected ecosystem that investigates the role of wind and water.  Rustling seed pods, layered with sounds that remind us of laying by the riverbed. The work hangs within welded metal rings, weathered through burial in garden soil, where cycles of watering encouraged oxidation amongst living plants. Textiles dyed over an open fire with gum leaves, rhubarb leaves and rust create reflections of tones of colour familiar to the landscapes around us.
