About
The Artist
Her story, told in her own words — in chapters rather than a résumé.
Placeholder scaffold — each chapter below is filled from the interview with Chanika (see docs/CONTENT-KIT.md) before launch.
Where it began
This chapter will tell where Chanika comes from and when art entered her life — the people, places, and moments that set the work going. It is being written with her now.
How the work is made
Materials, habits, and the life of the studio: how a piece begins — a sketch, a held image, an argument with the light — and how it finds its way to finished. This chapter will be written from a conversation about her practice.
What she keeps returning to
The questions that run under the work — the motifs that appear, disappear, and return. The themes here will come from Chanika herself, in her own words.
Now
What is on the easel, what is being shown, and what is next — exhibitions, new series, and the pieces currently looking for a wall, which you can meet in The Work.
If the work speaks to you, the best way to begin is simply to write to her.
