Cloth of the mother goddess / Chitara, Jagdish 2015  Book
Chitara, Jagdish Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Chennai, Tara Books Pvt.Ltd., 2015.
Description 6pMaroon Spine
Summary/Abstract This cloth book has been individually hand block-printed on textile panels, which makes each book a unique piece of art, which recreates a ritual textile known as Mata-Ni-Pachedi, or the Cloth of the Mother Goddess. Worshippers offer these votive cloths with images of their guardian goddess to herself: gifting a piece of creation to the creator is considered the highest form of worship. In keeping with this belief, the book has been designed as a cloth shrine. On the reverse of the main panel, the images tell the story of the origins of this tradition, the story that leads back to the beginning, to that which was created: the Cloth of the Mother Goddess.

Publication Bengaluru, Tara Books Pvt.Ltd., 2014.
Description 48pWhite Spine
Summary/Abstract The Bhil people of Central India are amongst the oldest indigenous communities in India. To them, the natural world of trees, creatures that inhabit them, and the forest of which they are a part, is not ‘out there’, but rather exists in a seamless relationship to their home and the everyday. Gangubai, Bhil artist, explores this relationship through her memories of food, work, festivals, illness, medicine, and much more. Her tales center around trees, and so each of her memories has a tree as its focus. Illustrated in vivid and cheerful colors, the paintings in this book foreground a universe of brightly colored dots, and lines and shapes that encompass and hold all living creatures, including human beings.
