The Space Between is a collection of works across diverse media that reflect on the
silent dialogue between form and void. By bringing attention to both objects and the space they create, the exhibition reveals how absence, proximity, and balance can speak as strongly as presence.

The Space Between presents the work of Siddhartha Das and Chiara Nath, whose practices span over twenty years, both individually and over the last two years together, under the aegis of Siddhartha Das Studio. Their interest in art, craft, design, and architecture is apparent in the works on view.

Based on collaborations with traditional artisans, artists, and makers, their work celebrates handmade while also engaging with cutting-edge processes. The exhibition is a meeting of tradition and experimentation. Works such as cast pieces depicting forms from nature, models for sculptural relief murals, and abstracted stone stepwells inspired by architecture reflect the interconnectness of the natural and the industrial.

Carved wooden and stone temple friezes appear as studies of form and history, alongside modern sculptural temple designs and gateways that explore ideas of threshold, structure, and light. In the embroidered works, we see modules suggesting constructional intent whilst subtle variations and erosions produce organic fluidity while depicting living organisms of the sea and land. The drifting clouds embody the movement of light and shadow, while studies of traditional columns and bone inlay in lime plaster speak of enduring craft lineages.

A selection of short films will also be presented as ways of seeing, offering curious viewers insights into the processes, ideas, and perspectives behind the works
on view.
