The “achadiya” is the dropcloth that block printers lay over their long tables, prior to starting the printing process. The achadiya is usually a heavier cloth that may have imperfections or is recycled, and absorbs the excess resist from the printing process. While artisan-designer, Salemamad Khatri, was printing the panels for my artwork “Mobile Palace”, I asked him to keep the “achadiya”, which he also uses for printing Ajrakh motifs on dupattas and saris. These dropcloths have been mordanted and dyed in indigo, revealing an incredible imprinting and layering of my motifs that quote Corbusier’s Mill Owners’ Association Building, and the Ajrakh motifs, which are believed to be from Islamic architecture. I am responding to the imprints with the additions of mirrors – an integral part of Kutch within embroidery traditions and the indigenous architecture (bhungas, and the mud-mirror craft of lippankam). The mirrors are secured with embroidery, and instead of embroidering the edges of the mirrors as with traditional shisha-kam, I have drawn the thread across the mirrors – almost like scars. I have treated the process of placing the mirrors similar to how I work with drawing and mark-making.
