I replicated my Lotus Harvest series of paintings in hand embroidery and needlework (see pairings below).
Needlework is one of the hallmark craft traditions of Pakistan and South Asia. Growing up, this is the art medium I learned in school and at home until I went to art college. These works show the parallel art media, the indigenous cultural craft paired with the traditional fine art medium of painting.
