IN BETWEEN - 2025
As I weave, I drift through time—untangling the knots of the past, grounding myself in the present and imagining what the future may hold.
These fibres of raffia, recycled cotton, and sari silk hold both memory and possibility. Through the process of weaving they offer release and renewal.
Weaving is more than method; it is metaphor and language. Its purpose is to preserve, heal, and transform.
The Guardians
Stillness - Presence - Awareness - Antevasin
The Sanskrit word antevasin means ‘one who lives at the border… someone who renounces the comforts of family life in pursuit of the unknown’. This in-between space both culturally and spiritually, lies at the heart of my work.
From within this threshold space, I question the conditions of contemporary life. Our society is shaped by mass consumption and relentless speed. In response to this, these works embrace slowness as resistance. They invite stillness and awareness. They seek to awaken a cultural shift that honours intentionality and sustainability over the superficial.
These woven sculptures function as objects of ritual. Standing as guardians, they depict the polarities of structure and wildness, and fragility and strength. These works draw on the fourth stage of spiritual alchemy known as Conjunction. They reimagine transformation as a process-oriented methodology—unfolding through material exploration, conceptual layering, and intuitive inquiry.
Through Conjunction, we come to recognize what holds true value and we begin to weave these elements together to form our authentic self. As the intangible begins to materialize, polarities within us harmonise and are no longer in conflict. Through this harmony, intuition and emotion merge with intellect and logic.
These three concepts: antevasin, slowness as resistance and Conjunction, simultaneously inhabit the space of the in-between. Weaving becomes method, metaphor, and language, honouring the intelligence of the hand while viewing transformation as a slow, embodied journey toward wholeness.
