About

This Delhi-based artist rescues discarded printing machines and transforms them into kinetic creatures that crawl across scroll surfaces, echoing centuries of written word. It's playful. It's profound. It asks us to consider who—or what—does the labour of creation.

Anurag treats scrap as methodology. His work refuses the logic of disposability, instead finding poetry in mechanical movement and magnetic ink.
