Sukanya Ghosh
Sukanya is an artist whose work involves a bit of everything from animation and video, to graphic design and painting. She loves the synergy involved in combining different media in her work. She enjoys making short experimental films using the same processes of collage, layering and erasure that she uses in her artwork. She uses found images and works on them to create new images and dissonances.
Sukanya graduated in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M. S. University of Baroda and went on to post graduation in Animation Film Design at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. She was Programme Officer at the Seagull Arts and Media Centre in Calcutta and was responsible for curatorial and organisational aspects of various activities in the Arts. Currently she lives and works out of Calcutta (India) and is trying to explore the points of conjunction between the still and moving image.
