Work

In her works, Shettar combines natural and industrial materials, including beeswax, wood, organic dyes, vegetal pastes, lacquer, steel, and cloth, to create large-scale installations.[11] Shettar draws inspiration from India's history of craft traditions, incorporating many of their time-honored techniques into her creative process.[12]

Shettar's hand-carved wood sculptures involve deliberate preservation of the natural textures of the material.[13][14]

Shettar’s woodwork also exists as wall-mounted compositions.

One example is Touch Me Not (), now a permanent part of Kiran Nadar Museum of Art's collection.[15]

Shettar has created immersive installations, such as Seven Ponds and a Few Rain Drops (),[16] which entered the permanent collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Other examples include Sing Along (), now in the collection of Kiran Nadar Museum of Art.[17]

Shettar has also created works connecting hand-molded wax beads with cotton thread.[18] In her work Just a bit more (),[19] which is now in the permanent collection of MoMA New York, the artist really relied on the lightweight and translucent quality of the material to create an intricate web of threads.[20]

In addition to organic mediums, Shettar also uses industrial materials.

One such piece, Me, No, Not Me, Buy Me, Eat Me, Wear Me, Have Me, Me, No, Not Me ()[21] was featured at the inaugural exhibition of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's sculptural garden.[22]

Shettar's projects are mostly sculptural, however she has experimented in other forms as well.

One such project is Varsha, an artist's book in collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art (New York). In , Shettar was invited to create a special print titled Alae alae to commemorate The Metropolitan Museum of Art's th anniversary.[23]
