Priya VJ aka Paati is an Artist from sunny Singapore and enjoys long romantic walks to the fridge.
Paati/பாட்டி means grandma in Tamil.
Most if not all of her projects have been and continue to be centred around Food and consumption. Food to her, is a tool, a powerful metaphor for communication.
Paati/பாட்டி enjoys playing with multi-sensorial forms that reveal the intersections of power and culture. Her past explorations include investigations of the social dichotomies between high and low foodas well as concocting ceramic vessels for a bespoke bar that aims to hold more than just cocktails.
Paati/பாட்டி is thoroughly interested in the methods of consumption beyond just edible sustenance and strives to find new ways to narrate complex and regional topics.
As a full fledged coconut enthusiast, Paati/பாட்டி hopes to peel back the social layers, pound the handpicked cultural hallmarks and translate the unspoken recipes that make for her very own artistic lingo.
