Each alphabet has a unique character

He says, “My work is a visual exploration and journey in to the world of the carpet industry and the hundreds faceless people who create those magnificent rugs that we proudly use in our décor. Among the most exciting was the shuttle, which the weavers were constantly working with. Last week when I saw the show Fibre Fables where contemporary artists collaborated with weavers to create works of contemporary art, I returned feeling very elated for it is a salute to the nameless, faceless industrial workers of Panipat for the collaborative works have accessed modern techniques and technology to create larger than life works to huge impact.I am an unabashed admirer of our weavers and will go many extra miles in honour of the sheer genius of their artistry, technique, aesthetics, but even more than that I bow my head to the fact that continue to practice their art despite all odds. One of his works titled Roots has been woven on the kilim loom using metal wire mesh and wool.
Numerous images of the process and material, digitally overlapping each other are on a loop on these digital screens. This piece has been done using wool, metal wire, mirrors and metal mesh. One of his works is an installation that uses a huge charkha on which he has added digital screens. I have enlarged this instrument to a height of 5 ft in wood and have worked with threads on it. Says Khurana: “The map of Panipat is a physical manifestation of my interaction with the ancient city.”Puneet Kaushik, an installation artist, has created installations using different techniques.”Nidhi Khurana’s larger than life 26 x 16 foot map of Panipat on the other hand is very modern and incorporates several techniques of weaving. She has used braided carpets for the base, then on it she has incorporated screen printing, hand tufting, pitloom weaving, kilim weaving, bath tufting, embroidery, applique work and chromojet printing. Another body of works are sculptural heads, these heads are inspired by weavers in the factory, Sahaya has created the heads using clay and discarded parts of machinery from the factory. As these master craftsmen weave visual symphonies in the quiet, I sought to add a sonorous dimension to what they do.
Vibhu Galhotra is a musician who has created a musical instrument that has been inspired by the pit and kilim looms.” Sumeet Nath of the Raj Group under whose the aegis the show is being held says, “As an industry that survives on the art of weaving, it is imperative to find a way to create tangible memories from a tradition that may cease to exist in the future. These sculptures create a sort of historical yet mythologised narrative that is both about the craftsman as well as the craft. He says, “Observing the dexterity with which the craftsmen use their handlooms and pit-looms, I saw a parallel with which string instrumentalist pluck at their instruments. Dhvani Behl is a textile designer who created amorphous sculptures on the pitloom and one sculpture using the hand tufting gun. Another work titled Layers & The Surface represents the human under skin and has been created using the https://www.haiyanlc.com/product/countersunk-wood-screw/countersunk-wood-screw.html Wholesale 4.8 YEWLLOW ZINC PHILLIPS ROSS RECESSED COUNTERSUNK SCREW M8 hand tufting gun.”Nikheel Aphale, a calligraphy designer, has used the technique of yarn wrapping for one of his sculptural works. Each alphabet has a unique character in terms of phonetics and forms. At the centre of this project is the relationship that two creative individuals share, even though, they come from completely different worlds.
