Cotton stole with box patchwork of Malkha

Itta-bitta integrates a more intentional geometry in creating a patchwork that could speak a different design language. I play with the size of the squares and see what proportions give birth to a new aesthetic. To this, choice of colours is an important aspect. It can go wrong so easily.  What colours next to each other make the squares pop, what makes them surrender? To me, these compositions are like working with tiles. They carry an intention of balance and harmony, something that geometry provides effortlessly. 

Itta-bitta is joined as a steadfast stitch of many panels. A constant has been kept alive where the workshop is handled by my dear mother, who has given tangibility to this vision. She meticulously manages and segregates each smallest piece of fabric that appears in the process of stitching and those become our gold mine to cull out wonders from!

Itta-bitta is a one-of-a-kind textile designed to highlight a unique coming together of various techniques and creativity of handcraft. This design will not be recreated.
