SHOWCASE

Colour Palette
The Rangoli Show by Conran was a selling
exhibition of contemporary design featuring
work by designers who live and produce work in
India. The aesthetic of my rugs designed for the
Rangoli Show emerged as an expression of the
felting process. The designs were contemporary
interpretations of surfaces seen in Mughal and
Hindu architecture. I also looked at various
traditional textiles like the Ralli quilts and
Japenese Shibori. Felt is basically layers of wool
fibres intermeshed to form a sheet. In the soft
stage, felt almost feels like water-colour paper
on which colour spreads and forms various
tones of the same colour. I had used an ombre
(shaded effect) of blue and Indian red colours
for the rugs. Traditional indigo dye has been
used routinely for resist dyeing techniques in
India and Japan as the colour looks beautiful
when it transitions from light to dark. Looking
at various indigo dyed fabrics and the textural
quality of felt inspired me to do an ombre in felt
with blue colour. Similarly the Indian red colour
was inspired by sandstone architecture and the
various tones of it created by light.

Since 1985, the annual Asian Paints Sharad Shamman (APSS) awards,
spread across six categories, have been presented to the
best decorated Durga Puja pandals (fabricated structures for religious
ceremonies) in the city of Kolkata. Durga Puja, a festival
that celebrates the worship of Goddess Durga is especially popular
in Kolkata, where pandals of massive proportion are created every year.
This year as well, the city was engulfed in a riot of colour for the duration
of the festival. The thought processes and craftsmanship of
the artists, based on inspirational themes, took tangible form as mesmerising
pandals across the city. Out of the numerous pandals, twelve reached the
first level of short listing and, as always, only six pandals went on to become
the winners of APSS 2012.
