From the Bench of Insiya Dhatt

Welcome to From the Bench, SFCB’s series of short studio tours with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress, you never know what you’ll learn about from these amazing artists.

This month we’ll chat with Insiya Dhatt, a book artist based in San Francisco.

Insiya, drawing inspiration from Rajasthan’s deserts and Mumbai’s vigor, transitioned from a 15-year e-commerce tenure to art after earning her master’s in Banking and Economics. Her artist’s books have become a medium to explore and understand the world around her as she digs deeper into interpretations and narratives around her.
