My arm and the weather, both seem to be getting a little better. Although too much work still hurts. Wanted to share the wonderful news with everyone that my Autobiographical portrait, “Chapter 2,Page1″ has been selected for an upcoming Exhibition at the Pearson Airport, International departure Lounge. I feel so happy and so honoured. The Exhibition starts from 16th of April to Oct 3rd 2011 and all the people flying out of the country can see it. We might be given permission to visit and see our work one of the days. Other Artists from Glass, ceramics and Jewellery are also having their work displayed. It’s a collaboration between Harbourfront Centre and University of Toronto. Here check out my piece….

…..while I recover from my surgery and feel strong enough to start working on my next project, why not tell you about this interesting project I did some time back. It was for the Theatre. Based on the opera “Don Giovanni” and set in 1700′s about literature’s most famous womanizer, his victims and nemesis. It is sung in Italian and boasts of Mozart’s elegant scores. I chose to design a costume for the Don himself….he is cunning, charming, a lover, a heart breaker, smooth talker, murderer who has a motto “Who is faithful to one woman, is cruel to all others”.

I found the attributes of his character quite similar to this lizard I read about once “Gila Monster (pronounced as Heela Monster). Lizards are normally harmless and this one looks pretty much the same but actually is a deadly one…..can paralyze the hand that pets it….just like Don Giovanni…..innocent but totally poisonous. So I decided to give him a Gila Monster costume, I used split peas and vinyls to create warty and leathery textures…….I’ll let my sketch book do the rest of the talking….

….wanted to share some pictures from the recently concluded The Clothing Show Fall 2010 in Toronto….my first ever show in Canada. I showed my collection of hand dyed and printed scarves. It was an extension of my Graduating line of clothing. Here check out some images…
