WHAT IS “OUT OF YOUR GAZE”?

OUT OF YOUR GAZE IS A PRACTICE FOUNDED BY ARTIST AND DESIGNER YASHANA MALHOTRA, ROOTED IN BELIEF THAT CREATION DOES NOT NEED TO PERFORM IN ORDER TO EXIST.

BY REFUSING SPECTACLE, OUT OF YOUR GAZE CENTERS PRIVACY AND SELF POSSESSION.

THE MAKER’S VISION

“OUT OF YOUR GAZE” WAS THE TITLE UNDER WHICH MALHOTRA FIRST BEGAN SHARING HER WORK IN 2020.

IT HOLDS EMOTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE, REFLECTING BOTH WHAT THE PRACTICE REPRESENTED TO HER THEN, AND WHAT IT HAS GROWN TO EMOBODY NOW: A COMMITMENT TO CREATING OUTSIDE EXTERNAL EXPECTATION, OBSERVATION AND VALIDATION.

FOR MALHOTRA, OUT OF YOUR GAZE REPRESENTS A LIVED PHILOSOPHY. ALL WORKS ARE DOCUMENTED AND SHARED AS EVIDENCE.
