Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Naomi Basu’s work centers on the Vedic metaphor of Indra’s Net—an infinite web of jewels reflecting one another—illustrating how everything is interconnected. Beginning with a Tantric artifact, such as a cosmological diagram, she playfully weaves its iconography with 2000s-era digital motifs and personal memory. The result is often a vibrant composition that intersects multiple timeframes and cultures. Through this process, she traces how visual ideas echo across and link contexts separated by time and space.
