Clothesline: Day nine-ten

Sadhvi: An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.” - Andy Warhol I was born and brought up in India. When I look back, I remember always working with a material – stitching clothes from waste fabric for my dolls, collecting pebbles to play vernacular games, stitching leaves together with twigs to make vessels and play house-house, I understood the world by engaging in such imitations. In the process of growing up, I developed love for working with materials. I am currently pursuing an MA in Textiles at the Royal College of Art, London. For me textiles are stories, that speak of political and social realities, at the same time - a medium that has the capacity to empower. I have everlasting love for children's illustration. I illustrate and collect children's books. I believe that these books have an amazing ability to make one smile ear to ear, at the same time speak of stories that we have all lived through and are living through, touching upon extremely sensitive scenarios. I hope you will enjoying seeing some of my work here.
