VISIBLE IMAGINATIONinvisible realities

I make things out of what gets thrown away. Paper, wire, cloth, scrap metal, bound into puppets, sculpture, and wearable craft
for children and the ecologies they will inherit.

About

Artist and Ecological Storyteller
from Assam, India.

Working across painting, paper sculpture, assemblage, wearable craft, and character design, the work draws from nature, myth, and the edges of endangered ecologies. Figurative and strange, it moves between installation, the wearable, and the illustrated page.

Alongside the studio practice, children's workshops and facilitated sessions use art as a space for unconscious exploration and emotional discovery. Fearless Ambassador 2026, currently exploring parallel ecologies in Sri Lanka.

Propose a Collaboration

In their words

Namrata's ability to translate ecological research into visual narratives that move people is rare. Her installations do not just hang on walls — they change how you see the land you walk on.
Amrita Hazarika · Curator & Cultural Collaborator
The children in her workshops come home different. Not just with art, but with stories, with observations about birds and rivers and things they never noticed before. She teaches seeing.
Dipa Baishya · Parent, YOBO Workshop Participant
She researched the site, the neighbourhood ecology, and created something that belongs specifically to this building and nowhere else.
Parth Saikia · Business Owner, Guwahati
