Banerjee’s sculptures incorporate disparate objects and elements that cross cultural and chronological delineations, combining exotic antiques and cheap trinkets. In her works on paper, female figures float in states of transmogrification, unmoored but also unbound. Her hybrid creatures reflect a question running throughout this exhibition — what defines something as either beautiful or monstrous?
