‘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.
Wallpaper Collections
Wallpaper collections inspired by Jantar Mantar and Marine Drive
Jantar Mantar
This wallpaper collection was inspired by the architecture of the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur and Delhi, India. All designs were hand drawn and hand painted and then edited digitally. Materials used were gouache, acrylic paint and watercolours.
Marine Drive
For my wallpaper collection, I illustrated recognisable and iconic buildings on and around Marine drive and set them against gritty concrete fabric manipulations. Each of them has a lighter or “Day” version as well as a “Night” version.
