Bharti Trivedi In The Studio
I believe that rope has immense potential to transform itself from a linear form to a dense expandable 3D form. It can lay flat and folded and then can be activated into a textural oasis in the form of a tapestry or a wall sculpture. All art comes from the heart and I really like to work with natural fibers and listen to what these materials are telling me!
What inspires you?
I get inspired by colors and textures found in the nature. I love combining natural elements, soft earthy color palettes and rare textures to all my original art pieces. Bringing together colors, forms and personal expression, art has always been a passion for me for creating unique artwork that fill in the space with warmth and joy.
Describe your creative process.
My art is a continuous exploration of texture, dimension, and scale. I use labour intensive hand knotting techniques such as macramé, twining, and weaving, to create my fiber-art. My process involves working from muscle memory in an almost meditative state, while establishing the connection with my source of inspiration to get the desired form. Using only my two hands as tools, I like my materials to dictate to me how and when they will be used in my pieces.
