Saraf is a new media artist, composer and performer who uses her background in experimental sound and Indian classical music and dance to create multi-channel, surround-sound audio and video installations. Using a diverse array of techniques such as repetition, fragmentation, and multiplication, Saraf designs sequences of rhythmic movements. These works create multi-layered structures of evolving patterns. In Peel, she elevates a repetitive domestic task into a mesmerizing meditation and reaffirms that the hallmark of a grid is its visual repetition.
