Archana’s making process involves collecting old memory artefacts such as photographs and maps then deconstructing them to re-use as threads.  Archana’s is born of British and Indian heritage, and she specialises in stitch and fine art textiles.

Having been raised in India and now living in London, the uprooting and the subsequent re-rooting have been transformative, and the origin of the exhibited work lies in this.  This exhibition reveals the evolution of her work, which follows the threads of transient boundaries and belongingness.

Re-imagined landscapes are inspired by the cycle of a day and are a harmonious representation of co-existence, multiplicity, and connectedness.
