Imprinted

To imprint is to mark by pressure, stamp; to impress on the mind or memory. Bhat sees her Assembling California series as an act of mapping and remapping, contributing to a spiritual or a psychological archive, with a strong contemplation of place. “Imprinted,” is an archive of the insides that aren’t necessarily visible, a collective of impressions of the places or textures or objects or the environment on us.
