world focus magazine free download Published this article page no The Bhois [a sub-group among the Khasis] have myths around the evolution of cotton and how the loom was created out of a body of a monster. I have come across designs and patterns that owe their origins to folk songs about the cycle of growing flowers. These too have found their way into textiles he said. Today one can find contemporary designers experimenting with these traditional techniques and motifs. For instance artist-designer Anjungla Imchen draws on her own personal experiences – ranging from the visual vocabulary of her hometown in Nagaland to her experiences in Santiniketan to create a series of contemporary kantha embroideries. I wish we could stop seeing northeast textiles only in the ethnographic context. The way the traditional weavers have played with the same colours and designs to create hundreds of patterns could offer such a lesson in design and spatiality to design students. There is so much to learn from them says Mazumdar. world focus magazine free download
