Through this body of work I wanted to explore my relationship with Delhi and London, but both which I call home. I wanted to talk about my heritage, of travel, of missing home and finding a home away from home, through this work. So working with maps and saris seemed a natural choice. Drawing and embroidering the maps of these two cities felt cathartic; an act of recalling, recording and celebrating.
Thank you Devon Guild for having the exhibition and working so hard to make it look amazing. Thank you Clare and Graham at The Stables, the lovely B&B we stayed at, for making our stay so comfortable. Thank you everyone who came to the PV. Here are images from the private view of StoryLines.
The exhibition is on till 14 June 2011 at The Devon Guild of Craftsmen, Riverside Mill, Bovey Tracey, Devon TQ13 9 AF.
