📸thanks to @damienstorey for putting me in the pink🩷
this textile fragment came with this photo, a man in his home, somewhere in Lebanon, with the full glorious textile as curtains behind him. from this i designed our fabric shadiyeh.
today i am thinking of Lebanon, Iran, Gaza, and all of the lives left fragmented from this violence.
i wrote the below when i found the picture and textile:
where do we come from if our origins are unknown?
what if the land has been disappeared? radically changed?
if our colorful life has been reduced to black and white?
the boteh fragment sent me swooning.
what came out of this is now called Shadiyeh.
a fabric like the woman she is named after and like the boteh herself:
a cypress tree - a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity.
the bent cedar - a sign of strength and resistance.
In January, I emerged from the Fra Angelico exhibit in Florence with my mind and heart blown. I am still dreaming about these paintings, feeling the emotions of their colors. Here are some colorways that came out of this magical, mystical experience. And a forever thank you to my friend Suzanne, who introduced me to Beato Frangelico🩷
my 57th year on this earth. my birthday wish is so simple and so big. i wish that our collective voice for peace, for an end to this violence, will be heard. that our voices against violence and war, will rise and overwhelm and end this violence against children, women, men, animals, environment, air, earth....
that my loved ones and your loved ones and the ones we do not love- can live without fear, displacement, bombs, deprivation.
as Mariame Kaba says, “hope is a discipline”.
thank you to my dear friend and photographer @damienstorey you are the houdini of 📸📸
Zoroastrian embroidery from Iran. stop bombing, stop the destruction of beauty, beautiful people, beautiful places, beautiful cultures. we cannot magically bring these destroyed people, places back. we all have to call for an end to this violence.
Zoroastrian textiles reflect the belief of celebrating the bountiful world, the respect for nature and for it’s colorful world.

my idea of a perfect day! in villages of West Bengal- visiting handweavers in their homes. jamdhani weaving is even slower and more beautiful than i knew, gorgeous handwoven cottons and silks, preparing the warp, threading the warp…..
mama dog scratching her pups itch, bikesfullof, rice fields, woven grain huts, and a last minute hop on a boat on the river Ganges to see the blind river dolphins (and we did!) thank you to my fellow textile nerd @ratanvaibhav for a magnificent day!!!!
