About

Namita Paul is a mixed-media installation artist whose practice explores memory, care, and transformation through material and architectural form. Working across mediums—including canvas, glass, found materials, and layered surfaces—she is drawn to the ways materials accumulate traces of time, touch, and lived experience.

Architecture—both physical and emotional—runs through her work. She considers built environments not simply as structures, but as containers for memory: walls that hold, thresholds that mark passage, and fragments that carry traces of what came before. Her work often takes the form of wall-based structures and installations in which architectural forms become unstable, intimate, or bodily.

Through processes of accumulation, fragmentation, and transformation, Paul explores what is carried forward as structures change. Her work moves between fragility and strength, intimacy and monument, considering how materials—and the spaces we inhabit—continue to hold memory even as they are altered over time.

Paul holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts and an MA in Cultural Studies from the University of Washington, and an MFA from California College of the Arts
