Collection: Earthsongs

Artist - Roshan Anvekar
Mixed Earthen Media

Earthsongs is an anthology of works that gather the voice of the mountains into form — each work composed of the fabric of the land it births from. The materials themselves hold memory — grain of wood, weight of stone, whisper of straw, faces of slates, bamboo pulp. etc — brought together by Roshan in a rhythm that is less constructed and more grown. Earthsongs is a series that listens deeply before it speaks andtries to sing in expression and element. The works are born from an introspection of the tactile — a meditation on what truly constitutes us: wood that warms our homes, stone that grounds our walls, mud, that forms them, slates that roof them, bamboo that bends but never breaks, pulp and rice straw that carry the memory of fields and harvest.

Roshan extends the folk and nature story, gathers and Layers them over each other via means of human composition. The process is slow and deliberate, letting the natural behaviour of each constituting element guide the work. 

The resulting pieces are resonances, part- object and part-memory, where surface and spirit meet. In Earthsongs, the earth itself becomes the medium and the message, in a reach of our truest expression, rooted in the same soil that holds us.These works emerge from what is most basic and rooted — the structures, gestures, and rhythms that quietly hold life together. Beyond their physical presence, they carry a quiet spiritual charge, asking for patience and attention, much like the landscapes they arise from. Experiencing them becomes an act of participation — a small ritual of looking, breathing, and remembering what it feels like to be in rhythm with something larger than oneself.
