August 2010, crocheted object with tiny paper flowers inside
I crocheted a small pouch like object containing tiny paper flowers made from the Indian Argali paper.  I had an idea to make it into large installation works with these sack like objects hanging from the ceiling with paper flowers strewn all over the place. I made a few more larger pouches but it never materialized into a finished art work. Without having a proper studio to work in was sometimes hard to keep the momentum going.

The white flowers rest on the multi layers of translucent paper. It almost looks sucked into the gloomy abyss that lurks in the background.  I don’t know why I made such a melancholic representation of flowers. It is gloriously sunny outside and the daffodils are in full bloom. Spring is finally here, so why such doom and gloom?

    About the artist

    I am a visual artist and maker currently based in Winchester, UK. My works look at ideas surrounding the definitions of home and with it the notions of belonging and displacement. The various cultural backdrops I have personally experienced together with the everyday situations and findings, particularly as a woman and mother, are some of the areas where I find inspirations for making my art work.
