The motifs of 108 different flowering plants seen here were originally hand drawn by the artist Amrut Patel, translated into handmade wooden blocks reportedly in Rajasthan and Gujarat, and hand printed in Mumbai. The nature of these collaborations reflects in many textiles for Visvakarma, which brought complementary skills together on one hand, and on the other, unexpected elements towards surprisingly new results. Patel created this repertory by extensively studying Rajasthani and Mughal miniatures. Aside from the diversity of the motifs, the textile stands out for its use of multiple colours within small areas. These became elements of a small intervention in silk sarees for the exhibitions as well.
