That life is short but art is long took on significant overtones as a new work by Hema Upadhyay was completed earlier this week. Her installation, which she had titled ‘Find me a nest where I can rest’ was getting made for a group show at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), but came to an abrupt halt with her tragic murder two months ago. Through the hands of her studio assistant, Shanker Lal Suthar, the installation has found closure. Upadhyay is represented by Chemould Art Gallery.
