Aditi’s practice reflects an awareness of living in overlapping time frames, creating works in response to these intersections. She engages with repetition, spontaneity, and automatism across painting, bookmaking, collage, digital photomontage, and alternative photographic printing processes. At times, she integrates grid-like structures to emphasize order amidst chaos, using them as visual metaphors for frameworks of time and memory, juxtaposed with organic and spontaneous elements to explore the complexities of time and human experience.
In addition to her individual practice, Aditi is a founding member of Studio A 89, Kaladham, Greater Noida. The studio focuses on painting and analogue + alternative photographic approaches, fostering interdisciplinary artistic exploration.
