| Hemi had her first solo
show at Shridharani Gallery in 1980.Starting by enrolling
herself at the Triveni Studios Hemi has been painting
and working with glass. Tough and fragile - two contradictions
sit comfortably on her.It is these very qualities a
razor sharp strength and fragility of the medium that
prevents Hemi from ever leaving glass.She indetifies
with the inherentdualities present in glass. From photo
transfers on glass,embedding of copper before firing,
primeval cutouts of metal figures in glass tease the
eye into submission.Her list of shows is numerous.In
1996, Coca cola commissioned her to make a sculpture
for the Olympic games.In 1999, solo show in London 'Frozen
Fire'.In 2001 she represented India in sculpture at
'The Park Hotel'Chennai. In 02' she received the Habitat
Arts Commendation for the Best Artists show. The artist
lives and works in Delhi.
