asha vaidyanath / Interdisciplinary artist/ Indian born American ( b. Bangalore) / currently based in London
I compose richly layered narratives that explore the intrinsic poetry and contradiction present in the act and process of repetition. My practice encompasses stitch, writing, weaving, natural dyeing, printmaking, painting - all of which naturally share repetition in their process.
I also design and facilitate workshops as a way to explore sense-making and change through sensory play and tactility.
