Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: Bombay like most of India, has her hot season, where we get to enjoy beautiful fruits like mangos, but unfortunately as children, we weren’t able to enjoy strawberries in winter.In those months, we would enjoy the cooler climate with picnics outdoors surrounded by flowers.And as any Indian picnic goes, out came the bottle of limbu pani, tea and food.Those picnics hold many memories of being together and happy. Strawberry Petal Punch is my expression of those times.The curved piecing recreates the flowers and the bold, bright colors represent my emotions surrounding those memories.This Modern style, along with the facing creates a more contemporary quilt, and the straight line quilting using the walking foot is a representation of my journey

Artist Statement/ Description/ Method: 14,220 minutes, 75600 stitches, each stitch a meditative repetition of a mantra. Made of 108 individual quilts of 4 inches square held together by pins, the quilt allows the air to flow through, much like Tibetan prayer flags that carry prayers along with the wind. The spirals emanating from the centre of each quilt signify my human journey from inside out embracing the world in the first four decades followed by an outside-in movement as I now move inward collecting myself. The quilt's shape can be altered - elongated today, a square tomorrow, a tall obelisk the day after. Kinetic, ever moving and an exploration in mindfulness, the piece is still growing in meditative moments, one stitch at a time…108 and counting
