This is from the same day that I shot Tinyfarm's Calender. Flowers came home that day. And i had a beautiful time styling a few frames. I remember the days when i stared blogging, I completely didn't get the whole deal around flowers. And the many endless flower pictures I saw on people's flickr streams would puzzle me. Cut to this post where...
This is a post I have really been keen to make for a while. "Voices"is a little table calender make by Riddhi Desai of Tinyfarm. Those of you who have been following this blog for years, might remember Riddhi from the beautiful books she made a few years ago, I had blogged about it here. She also shared the stall with me in my 1st ever exhibition.
Her calender "Voices" is a soft yet powerful coming together of music and her illustrations. And while I was shooting the different illustrations on each month, in different corners of my home, I realised that her calender has the rare capacity, like true art to transform the space that it is in. I could feel peace where ever I kept her calender. I caught myself thinking - what would have been her process, what would have been going on in her mind to conceptualise the illustration the way she did, the clue to that is in the back of the calender, where there is a song to each month and word that is a gift to that month and to you. Riddhi's calender can be bought at a price but what it will bring to your home and your life is a gift of grace. It is her art and her heart.
I find myself falling in love with each of her illustrations each month, and coupled with the song, it is just such a happy peaceful combination.

"‘Voices’ is a calendar featuring 12 illustrations of 12 songs and
compositions that will make you smile. Each song carries a message for
the month to inspire you to live your dreams and enjoy the simple
moments of life. The reverse of the back cover has the entire 2014
calendar for a quick look. We have also included a solid wood calendar
stand for a beautifully display." - Riddhi Desai
"And we'll swim, knowing they can't touch us, we'll swim knowing they can't touch us" - Rachel Sermanni
"At the end of each month or year, you can cut out the art & use it as a gift tag or frame it as prints." Riddhi Desai.
Or you could make groupings of your favourite illustrations and frame them together in one frame. So exciting. I would love these little round illustrations on my walls.

Kali ghat was a name I had heard since childhood, what was it famous for if you ask me I can't quite put my finger on it, but the associations were that of mystical roots, of culture, of real oldness and real history, I associate stories about mystical saints and ofcourse Kali the goddess and that it is a ghat, which means a...

I have been away and resting. My laptop has been off more than on. And this has been an unthinkable state of affairs ever since I left my corporate job of an art directors 4 years back. My laptop has been my lifeline and my connection to the world and my work. But for health reasons and for the sake of balance this...
