city of scavengers.......

An interior I recently did as a part of my Masters thesis project......... The theme is consumerism, inspired by none other than Warhol and the visual imagery is inspired by urban growth and competition.

more to come soon

I have decided that before showing anything current, I should share my past work and to continue with  that policy, I present to you...... *drum roll*..... MORE DOODLES!

At the start, printing was something that I considered out of question for ZBR, it was too direct and not 'personal' enough for me..... But with a slow and steady understanding of visual creativity, blended with a love for Warhol, a printed collection started to emerge. This collection uses photographs captured by my own humble camera and then developed into designs that go with every mood and every outfit. :D

my other identity.........

People who have been following me before i showed up on blogger know me through the below mentioned link..... my first ever page on Facebook that has all the work I have done in the past...........

A look at another collection, with no weaving in it at all...... This is a progression for ZBR in a sense that this collection, when launched, broke the weaving stereotype and explored the realms of embroidery...... The patterns in this collection are inspired by my own drawing style which involves out of control lines and a lot of contrasts in tone.

second of the many weaving related posts to come. These are products that are designed at ZBR as a part of a collection or on order, the fabric used in these bags is all hand woven using a variety of materials and the look of each individual piece is given the maximum attention to achieve the best results....

It sounds weird, but even as a child I often tried to create a hand loom by using two pencils and some threads in a process which even I can't describe now.... So needless to say, ever since I used the Khaddi (hand loom) for the first time, I fell in love with it! Hand woven fabric to me is the most pure and personal form of textile designing and nothing can beat a bag, cushion or outfit made of some sort of a hand woven fabric. Through out the blog you are sure to see a lot of things made of hand woven textiles and this is just to give a head start.....

Baby steps...........

So here are some oldies from the time I was just struggling with the idea of being a textile designer, not knowing what I was going to do with it but nonetheless struggling hard to find a niche..... They are not mind blowing exactly but you guys will have to put up with it anyway... Rest assured, you will see some new stuff soon!  :D
