The Indian art of block printing is a labour-intensive, painstaking process that involves lots of stages before attaining the final result. This journey is left imprinted on the 'achhada', a cotton fabric used to cover the fifteen feet long block printing table. After days, weeks & months of printing, the 'achhada' becomes saturated in pigments & patterns in a completely unintentional yet often rhythmic manner. Taking inspiration from the organic nature of an 'achhada', in contrast to the methodical process of block printing, this piece of wall art gives an abstract modern twist to the long-lived traditional art.
The wall art is designed for Xylem Papercraft Pvt. Ltd. as an attempt to recycle the 'achhada', while adding value to it and celebrating its characteristics.
