Floating in Hindustan
2008
Floating in Hindustan. Detail. Watercolour on wasli. 300cmx25cm (entire).
Floating in Hindustan was the first scroll I made. I had the wasli for this scroll made at the National College of Art in Lahore so that I could do my study of miniature painting in a more portable format. Over months the scroll became a place in which to keep a diary of my crossings between India, Pakistan and Australia, as well as cataclysmic evens such as the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York that year.
Floating in Hindustan has yet to be made available as a digitised tour. Please return
