    For the most part, this poorly written appraisal of the works on display highlights only the writers lack of coherence. the main line of argument seems to be the classic 'she's-not-indian-hence-doesn't-get-india'. Fraser's work shows a level of prescience, and an exoticised perspective it may be, tourist friendly and all, but nevertheless it shows us sights that most of us, Indians, are surrounded by and blind to. an eye-opener i thought, and not one to pettily rejected as pretty and shallow. and as a collection of vignettes, it works wonderfully. besides, the other artist who's collection is on display alongside Fraser's is more worthy of the 'exotic' tag.
