I am a textiles artist and researcher. I love discovering and documenting textiles from around the world and have a particular passion for Indian textiles. I am currently researching the block printed textiles of North Gujarat and Rajasthan for an MA. I have recently returned from India for the third time when I visited the amazing artisans of Kutch, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Above: The same star pattern seen in 4 different contexts. This was something that kept re-occuring.
Blue and white is a common colour combination in the tile work. This pattern can appear quite jumbled and like a random scattering of squares. But when you squint you can see perfectly shaped diamonds. It has many different dimensions, as have the majority of the Islamic patterns.
hello, can I use your pictures in some photomanipulation? Thanx
