My Story
Hi, I’m Madhuri. I never liked those 'do not touch' signs in art galleries – so I make art you can play with. I’m self-taught, so rules? Nah, I prefer messy creativity. I use discarded stuff like cassette tapes, coffee grounds, cycle rims – turning junk into stories. Sometimes projects flop, sometimes they sing. I care about mental health too, making art a safe place for feelings. Painting bins with a friend, laughing, that’s my kind of magic.
