The illustrations have all been printed with the base layer. And the miniature painter has painted over 4 of the 9 flowers. The harsringar (above) ended up being a bit different than my original print.

In order to overcome that, he needed to first paint a thin layer of reetha and shampoo, and then the paint on top of it. As a result, a lot of the illustrations lost their translucency. But I think this is what comes of collaboration and trying something new–learning about creative process, technique and outcome and how much they can differ. The paper I used for printing worked perfectly, but not for painting. The back of the paper was slightly rougher and didn't print as well, but it worked perfectly with the paint. This pushed the miniaturist to think differently about how he could possibly make the paint attach to the slippery paper. I think we both learned a great deal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Radha Pandeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16046284653593544056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052255161276899420.post-44541004971209145082022-04-27T00:55:00.006-07:002023-03-16T07:35:41.955-07:00Work.-in-Progress: Flora of Mughal India<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Work-in-Progress: Flora of Mughal India </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSpRAvXJttTTklVX-Pi4KiDgQQTdeU0iNmywPgbLSkCQg7WkVo93kP5p115Mp0Y6xAwq21x3BKHIvjazCEmaNhOY7KGxhLSdolsWPuw99mv_t69JwwrXoFeShCgbIi1Prps5pxRVV2E-9EqTP37oWOLuZ6bT7spr2K1i6pgg62jLOo_KT4ZielSjF/s4032/IMG_6153.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSpRAvXJttTTklVX-Pi4KiDgQQTdeU0iNmywPgbLSkCQg7WkVo93kP5p115Mp0Y6xAwq21x3BKHIvjazCEmaNhOY7KGxhLSdolsWPuw99mv_t69JwwrXoFeShCgbIi1Prps5pxRVV2E-9EqTP37oWOLuZ6bT7spr2K1i6pgg62jLOo_KT4ZielSjF/w480-h640/IMG_6153.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am working with Jai Prakash ji a miniature painter based in Delhi to make the illustrations "complete".

When I presented this image and the one above this to Jai Prakash ji, he chose the first, much to my surprise. The less detail, the more easily he could work the image.

The book will focus on the plants that are indigenous to India–not traded or brought in by the British; plants that have no commercial value and were grown for their beauty and exuberance.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiE3S0yw4WGCCfVRUiNwK0GGUNWZHZhpvBSF8MKB_19D_uV015SRSjefrk_261Wzq6Z0S-tN2jppqvWApXDNYwASedelTpL1EMrCwriUYrlrWDCx9IYius0Lo11lnfRv543X4DiptDW7Q/s2048/IMG_1797_cropped.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1188" data-original-width="2048" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiE3S0yw4WGCCfVRUiNwK0GGUNWZHZhpvBSF8MKB_19D_uV015SRSjefrk_261Wzq6Z0S-tN2jppqvWApXDNYwASedelTpL1EMrCwriUYrlrWDCx9IYius0Lo11lnfRv543X4DiptDW7Q/w640-h372/IMG_1797_cropped.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The book explores how our relationship with nature changed over the centuries with plants being grown for pleasure and later being traded for commercial gain.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Join me for this introductory workshop in Goa. The first section is full. <br />The second section is still available for Feb 11 & 12, 2020.<br />Participants will have the opportunity to learn a range of binding structures. Starting with one-page folded structures to free up the minds and hands, we will move onto simple sewn structures, eventually combining these skills to make more complex structures. Finally, we will work on a multi-section binding to wrap up the final day. A talk on the history of the book with a focus on India will be given at the end of the first day.<br /><br />The workshop will take place all day on the both days at Dayanita Singh's studio in Saligao.<br />Register by emailing me: radhapandey@gmail.com</span></div>

It is full of wonderfully written articles. The cover for this issue is the collaborative piece I made with artist Catherine Nash for the Intergenerationality portfolio.

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The latest project I have been working on is a book exploring our perception of the colour white. The book started as a thought experiment that asked, 'What if snow was black, or orange? Would our perception of cleanliness, sanitation, peace, space, virginity, purity be different? Would doctor's coats and gallery walls be orange? How would this affect our notion of race and hierarchy?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wanted to tie this idea in to glaciation, climate change, snow and firn. I wanted the book to resemble an ice core, as in this prototype. The images would be scratched into the top most waxed sheet of highly beaten abaca.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The scratches mark all the pages underneath, leaving a trace, a shadow of what was on top. Just like melting snow going from opaque to clear, I wanted the viewer to activate these qualities as the book's pages are turned. Stay tuned...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">I finally finished a proof of my book, <i>Deep Time</i> during a residency at <a href="http://www.penland.org/" target="_blank">Penland</a> earlier this year. It was a fantastic experience, and I was surprised at how much I got done in a 2-week period! I spent the first week in the dye studio, dyeing all my paper using cloves. About 350 sheets of paper were brush dyed for an edition of 44, including overrun.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">The next step was to dip dye everything in Indigo. It was the perfect place to be doing this, because my finished pieces were a direct reflection of the beautiful views outside the studio. As the Indigo soaked into the sheet, it pushed the clove up, and created the beautiful ridge I was after for this project.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year, I have done a few collaborative projects but all along, have tried to spend to spend time now and again on this project and I refer to as Erosion, Sedimentation. It explores these two processes in the book form, so that as the reader pages through the book, they are physically causing erosion and sedimentation. The questions I have been asking myself through this project are many- how can one visually represent deep time? How can one physically cause processes of erosion and sedimentation? How does water shape land, and how does land shape water? Which is older? How can a book encapsulate all of this?</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I started with a lot of natural dyeing. The main issue was, that I didn't really know who to naturally dye paper. So I started with learning how to dye. I loved the way the colour interacted with different fibers, and looked different on each type of paper. Luckily, Islamic-world papermaking practices taught me a lot about this. This is clove dye, layered with Indigo.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I think tried different variations on that theme- using the same handmade gampi consistently through the tests. I dyed when the clove was wet, when the clove was dry, and over-dipped with dyes, and left spaces to see what would happen. I am still in the process of figuring out what look I like the best, and what effectively communicates my idea- the slow processes that take place when water and soil meet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next, I wanted to layer physical erosion on to the pages.

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">I think decided to take an another related idea I had been working on about boundaries, and what our planet would look like if human beings hadn't literally taken a ruler and pencil and divided up continents like Africa. What would physical boundaries look like then? These are the shapes of the highest points on the planet, which will repeat themselves through the pages, slowly shifting, eroding, and building, depending on which way you read the book. It is still a work in slow progress...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I was really excited to go back to <a href="http://www.wsworkshop.org/" target="_blank">WSW</a> this summer to teach The Missing Link: Islamic Papermaking. I hadn't ever seen the space when it wasn't completely covered in snow, so it was almost like being there for the first time. The staff and interns were an enormous pleasure to work with, the environment and food was amazing, and the students were hard-working and deeply interested in the process, history and application of everything we learned in this 5-day intensive workshop.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Women's Studio Workshop is a little haven in the middle of the woods and hills. Pictured here is their Art Farm where they grow fibers for papermaking life kenaf, and rye, and dye plants like indigo. That awesome person in the corner is their studio coordinator, Chris Petrone- one of the big reasons for the excitement of being back</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Its taken me way too long to post about this amazing tour stop, at <a href="http://www.phillysoapbox.org/" target="_blank">Soap Box</a>, in Philadelphia, PA. They did a little write-up on the class before hand. You can read about <a href="http://www.phillysoapbox.org/islamic-world-papermaking/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This worked was hosted by Soap Box but took place in <a href="http://nicole-donnelly.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Donnelley</a>'s studio <a href="https://paperthinktank.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Paper Think Tank</a>. Nicole is the president of <a href="https://www.iapma.info/" target="_blank">IAPMA</a>, an international organization of, for and by enthusiasts, professionals and students in the hand papermaking and paper arts field.

Thomas Hill, at The Library Cafe at Vassar, conducted a short interview with me after my lecture there. The podcast is posted on their website <a href="http://library-cafe.org/" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
What is Library Cafe? According to their website:<br />
<br />
<i>The Library Café</i> is a weekly program of table talk with scholars,
artists, publishers and librarians about books, scholarship, and the
formation and circulation of knowledge. It is hosted by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/06797620742936417299" target="_blank">Thomas Hill</a>, and can be heard on <a href="http://www.wvkr.org/">WVKR</a> FM 91.3 Wednesday afternoons between 12:00 Noon and 1:00 p.m. ET (17.00-18.00 GMT) during the academic year.<br />
<br />
Thank you for listening!<br />
