Mansi Trivedi's work formulates through a deep respect for nature through the world of textures and patterns. Be it the bark of a tree or the rugged surface of an ant hill, the thrill of creating an art piece with the same tactile quality using material of choice has been her decade long journey of experiments and learning. Further manifestation into the play of negative and positive spaces, light and shadow, tonal variations, and magnification for detail made it more challenging and interesting. This process and style of work enables her to engage deeper with patterns and forms in nature and carry on with the study of marks and remnants of natural surfaces.
