The biographies of water and women are threaded through Michelle Boyle’s work continuing from her recent solo show ‘The clothes on our backs’ in Jehangir Art Gallery Mumbai and in the ‘Common Threads’ project with the Department of Foreign Affairs Ireland. She asks the viewer to consider the agency of living water and its inherent presence in the creation and presentation of the works in this show.
