Untitled: Poornima & Saadhna

Contemporary artists Poornima Sukumar and Sadhna Prasad take their inspiration from the drapes worn by the Koli and Banjara women for their piece at the Sassoon Dock Art Project. Using their novel style from the Aravani Art Project, the duo creates a mural with similar sensibilities.

After spending their early mornings in the chaotic fish market, the artists did their preliminary research in profiling women and their colourful sarees. Their mural further profiles these women with an eloquent use of colours, while their sarees develop further by becoming delicate backdrops, which helps in creating an overall camouflaging effect.
