Devishi Seth (b. New Delhi, India) reflects on the intersection of the contemporary world and her ancestral past. Devoted to female divinity as her name signifies, she explores her feminine, cultural and historical heritage through clay, bronze, and painting, aiming to reconstruct lost practices and knowledge systems. Immersed in these traditional mediums, her practice mirrors the enduring yet ever-changing essence of womanhood.

 

Devishi completed her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and is currently pursuing her MFA in Ceramics at Alfred University. She is based between New York City, USA and Gurugram, India. Devishi has attended residencies in the US, France and India and showcased her work across these spaces. Some exhibitions include the South Asia Institute Chicago, Ki Smith Gallery, and Asian Art Contemporary. She has been awarded fellowships for residencies from the Penland School of Craft, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and Haystack School of Craft. Her practice is a homage to the sacred, the feminine, and the earth.
