Kakaria's wall-hanging, "semi-sculptural" panels of white encaustic are stunning. They're both abstract and representational: links of flowers and circles run up and down and across her thick panels. Just by looking, you wouldn't know that the images — particularly the marigolds — stem from the joyful Indian weddings that Kakaria attended as a child. But her work, and the dreamy experience of looking at it, involves you in a kind of vague reminiscence. She covers her floral and circular forms in thick, creamy white encaustic; the sensual layers evoke a sense of reverie and depth, but the flower forms pop off the background and maintain a solid presence in the here and now.
