Artist Statement/ Description/ Method
Coming from the land of spices, yoga and greatest hospitality, we Indians are used to hosting guests.
The interesting fact about us Indians, we still like to sit cross legged on the floor.
As a quilt artist, I took this observation to introduce "Kaleen" - The Quilt Carpet.
We are aware of the common uses of quilt, but as I tried to approach this art, I was intrigued with the idea of using the quilt as a carpet.
Another thought behind the concept was to extend the uses of quilt and thus to monetize and spread the art of quilting.
