I created two different two sided pieces to add above and below Malavika’s lock in the holes of the circles so the viewer will get different points of view.
# 1: House/ Eye
The house reveals my mood during the pandemic of my upside down world. It is raining only under the umbrella inside the house!
The other side is a hand embroidered eye and that was also machine quilted.
I cut out a hexagonal shape inspired by the shapes in Somen’s sculpture and also layered it with hexagonal net to show I was peeking outside while feeling imprisoned during lockdown.
# 2:

Materials: Cotton, net, sheers, beads, trim, yarn
