Missouri artist Priya Kambli was born in India and currently works as Professor of Art at Truman State University. This exhibition traces throughlines in her different bodies of work. Photographs from Kitchen Gods, Family Photographs, and Buttons for Eyes explore how time, place, and selfhood can be transformed by the experience of immigration. Selections from her newest project, Devhara, center on objects of worship her deceased mother used in her home altar. Kambli documents and casts the items to suggest their varied resonances. Her work offers a poignant exploration of memory, mourning, identity, and the overlap between the sacred and the secular.
