About this artwork

By putting together wool and iron, artist Vidya Gastaldon crafts a mountain indoors transforming rough materials like iron into dreamy landscapes. With its white and black tincture, the piece gives the illusion of a snowy landscape, transporting us into the highlands or the big outdoors.

With her mystical, fantastical and extremely vivid approach to art, Gastaldon develops a sort of harmonization of qualities both spiritual and physical. Her mystical approach–nourished from an array of beliefs that go from Hindu and Aztec mythology to meditation and yoga–is testament to her multifaceted practice. She engenders new beliefs, and by means of negative and positive impulses she pushes social unconsciousness out of the way, liberating our collective thought of the predefined egregores that oblige us to keep reproducing spiritual and social patterns.
