This painting pays homage to Phulkari (ful-kaa-ree), a densely embroidered textile from Punjab, India. Crafted by Punjabi women in a world shaped by conversations, songs and memory, the textile carries centuries of culture and storytelling within its threads.
The making of Phulkari, like the pointillistic painting technique, is shaped by time, repetition and ritual. Each painted mark answers a stitch: small, deliberate and repeated until the pattern emerges. The flickering, unfixed quality of the dotted surface assembles itself like a reverie, half-recalled and half-imagined, shifting with distance and attention.
