“The vertical and the horizontal, the landscape and the portrait, the figure and the ground—these frictions are subtly manifested in the behaviours of sleeping and the behaviours of waking. Ghosh’s works occupy an uncertain space, and although she has described it as a space of death and rebirth, it seems more apt to describe it as a space of fleeting revelation and loss.”
