‘Tales of Malabar’, a project funded by the Dutch Consulate General and the Embassy, New Delhi, looked at the history of the Malabar region in India. This project payed homage to the idiosyncratic culture, history and rituals of the diverse people and religions of the Malabar region that were influenced by trade and cultural connections. For this project, a harmonious exhibit had to be created, that explained the history and culture of the Malabar region, designed especially for a travelling museum within Kerala, which meant that the final outcomes had to be easily transportable and storable.
Marine Drive
Woven on a 24 harness Dobby Loom
2020
My collection woven on a Dobby Loom was inspired by Marine Drive, a promenade along the sea in Bombay, India. The samples are influenced by the colours, sights, signage, colours, textures and quirks that make Marine Drive vibrant, active and memorable.*
*Some samples have been digitally rendered, as all could not be woven due to the pandemic.
