Some people go bungee jumping, but life in a city like Mumbai gives us the same kind of head rush,&rdquo; quips Brinda Miller, when we meet her a day before her show opens at Tao Art Gallery at Worli. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/Brinda-Miller.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 404px;" /> The gallery, which is in process of framing 30 medium works and 30 small works, smells of fresh paint that a worker is applying on the boards, while another drills neat holes for mounting. &ldquo;After so many years, I am used to the drill of setting up an art show, which involves visualising where each work will be put up and how I want to guide the visitors through the gallery. But, the eve of a show never ceases to make me anxious,&rdquo; says Miller, who took just eight months to complete the works for the exhibition. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m exhibiting a solo after two and a half years. I&rsquo;ve worked at a very fast pace. It is the intoxication and nature of the paint I use that gives me this energy. I work on more than one piece at a time. So till the last day, I don&rsquo;t have a single work ready. While a layer of paint dries on one painting, I work on others, adding all sorts of objects such as wire meshes, different textures of fabrics and stencils that I hoard round the year,&rdquo; says Miller. And that is why, her works seem to have an underlying flow, as if each is a sibling of the other. The vibrant strokes of gold, her favourite orange, green and blues seem to splash across all the works. On display, is also a bench. &ldquo;When I make an installation, it is very important that it be made useful,&rdquo; says the self-proclaimed impulsive artist. &ldquo;Now, once I have stopped work, I can draw a line and view my work as a third person. I am at an age where I want to do maximum work. And that&rsquo;s the best thing about being an artist, right? You get to work right till the end,&rdquo; she smiles coyly. Each of her works are so deeply layered and because she works on them simultaneously, revisiting them as and when, work on each piece stretches over a long period of time. &ldquo;Now, it is time to release the exhaustion and my mantra is to travel. Though, the frenzied lifestyle never really leaves us, it is a whatsoever. I take this time to draw inspiration, observe and return refreshed,&rdquo; says Miller, who plans to escape to Israel after the show. When: November 17-December 1,u00a011 am to 7 pm Where: 165, The View, Dr Annie Besant Road, Worli Call: 24918686u00a0
