Exhibition of new installation and sculptural works.
'I wish my hair was as long as yours' is a solo exhibition of new sculptural works by Madi Acharya-Baskerville. The exhibition takes its title from a new work, an evolving sculptural installation exploring longing, desire and female identity. ‘ I wish my hair as long as yours’ incorporates found fishing nets and family textiles. This work also takes inspiration from a particular historical Indian miniature painting, entitled ‘Krishna and the cowgirls’ clothes’.
The accompanying works also made predominantly from found materials and objects provide an ongoing exploration of gender, desire, ambition and migration.

‘Somewhere else’ is the accompanying essay written by Stephanie Straine, Curator of Exhibitions and Projects, Modern Art Oxford
