This limited edition of wearable art borrows printmaking techniques to create textured overlays on tussah silk. Celebrating the imperfections of handmade, skilled hand block printers deliberately avoid repetitive patterns and let go. Each composition is alive with the invisible energy of an artist.
Painting is an act of worship for Chitaras of the wandering Vaghari community whose art is devoted to the Goddess Mother or Mata. ‘Mata-ni-Pachedi’ are portable cloth shrines. In this series, the artist draws on paper or cloth without premeditated sketching, in the traditional red and black.
