Anvita Jain

This piece is a collaborative piece with Anvita Jain again using assembled elements, this time painted wood rather than paper.

Sonabai Rajawar

Sonabai Rajawar had no artistic training. The only toys she could give her infant son were those she made herself. In desperation, she dug clay from the edge of her well and used it to fashion toys for him to play with. She loved the process and her son enjoyed the results. Soon, Sonabai filled the rooms of their house with clay figures: horses, cows, goats, birds, and human figures.

Tribal Trousseau

Hurray! I have been invited to the opening of 'Tribal Trousseau' at The Nomads Tent in Edinburgh next week. I can't wait I hope it is all as wonderful as the elephant pictured above.

Adele Mattern

Newsfeed Mumbai is a fantastic collaboration between Adele Mattern and 180 women from embroidery collectives in Mumbai. Adele traveled to India to participate in an embroidery workshop. In Adele's desire to continue the intimacy and camaraderie forged at that workshop Adele asked each woman to embroider an Indian newspaper with her own designs. I love this idea, its possibilities and the incredible results, found here.

Birds are flocking.
