Magnatta discusses materiality and memory in the work of artist Suchitra Mattai. Mattai's use of specific materials denotes certain relationships, concepts, and questions.

From intangible to haptic, memory to material, Mattai's work embodies this resonant presence. Mattai's ongoing use of a varied range of media belies her initial training as a painter and instead recalls her childhood, one in which the artist remembers creating from whatever objects were available.
