Saroj Patel: Ocean Mother at The Harris

Exploring the untold stories and rich experiences of South Asian mothers, delving into how these women navigate identity through the lens of motherhood.

Saroj Patel is a Preston-born artist who creates intricately detailed, tactile sculptures that invite playful audience interaction.  She works with a diverse range of materials, drawing from Indian and Hindu traditions, alongside found objects such as bicycle wheels and high chairs to build structure.

Born and raised in Preston, Saroj has traveled to India with her family since the age of three and continues to be captivated by its sensory richness, vivid colours, textures, tastes, and sounds.
