This wonderful Artist,Mum,wife (and beautiful) is be joining us @hopeandelvis in 2020 #Repost @ekta_kaul with @get_repost

I thought I would pop in here to say hello. I’m Ekta Kaul, an Indian born British artist. I make narrative based maps that explore place and belonging through stitch. I also make a small number of scarves that are engineered to be worn in multiple ways. ( an ode to my Indian roots where the draped cloth is celebrated ). In the last 12 months I have worked on Storymap commissions from a wide range of lovely clients including @thenewcraftsmen, @libertyorientalcarpets, @gunnersburyparkmuseum and many folk who'd prefer to remain anonymous. I also teach embroidery workshops at my studio and at collaboration events. Alongside all this, I am mum to two little people.
For a long time after having children I used to despair that I'm a part time someone - part time artist, part time mum, part time wife. I hankered for full days of uninterrupted work and full days of being with my babies. But you know what, I have come to realise that at any given time we are so many things/identities simultaneously. A bit like the Indian thaali- all foods are served simultaneously. There is no prescribed sequence for eating. You pick the one you want to savour and move to the next one. But they are all there. Present simultaneously.

A little crazy I admit but I won't have it any other way!
What plates are you spinning? Or rather what are you choosing to savour today? I can't wait to hear about you. Tell me xx

A sea of samples on my desk today! Attempting to sort 20 years of experimenting into modules for my online courses. Textiles have never ending possibilities though and I keep getting distracted with design ideas 🖤
