This series of textiles explores Indian block printing as a language between cultures. A single traditional motif is transformed into a modular system, forming the basis for a new visual vocabulary of over 100 characters—simultaneously readable and abstract—inviting a different way of seeing.
A System of Print
Selected characters are hand-printed with archival wooden blocks and numbered to match their place in the alphabet. The work combines the essence of block printing—repetition—with an experimental use of stencils, allowing the strict linear structure to take on soft, geometric forms.
A Shared Language
Seen in this way, a straight line depends on the context. The work explores how traditional visual systems can be reinterpreted in new settings. It emphasises the craft as a living design language, reflecting an underlying complexity and inviting a different way of seeing.
