I took a few textile design classes during my time at Srishti Institute of art, design and technology. I was mostly interested in learning about handloom weaving and also did a little bit of printmaking and dyeing. Since then I try to weave on a frame loom at home and create tapestries as my personal practice.
In July 2024, I was part of the Ós Textile Residency in Iceland. I developed a few tapestry designs over there which were inspired by Icelandic landscapes and worked with naturally dyeing Icelandic wool using Lupine plants and flowers.
