Business cards
2015
The layout of SAIC's BFA show meant the viewers first saw artists' business cards before they have a look at the work. Using this as an opportunity, Kanika's cards act as a sneak peek or a prelude to her piece - Luminous 1, a massive 9 x 35ft curtain.
The cards are fabricated using the same processes as 'Luminous 1'. The card initially just contain basic contact information. The colors and patterns are then heatpressed onto them through large disperse dye paintings, creating 500 unique business cards, each hinting at Kanika's work. Wach a part of a larger puzzle.
