In traditional ikat, threads are tied and dyed; with this method, threads are painted with thickened dye. I looped four cardboard tubes, with a circumference equal to the width of the final weaving, through the handles of tote bags weighed down with cinderblocks and bricks. I wound threads closely together by rotating the tubes, then applied dye to print a pattern. Then threads from the printers are woven on the loom hanging on the wall, two picks at a time to allow a continuous connection to the printer; the thread can be pulled and the pattern can be built indefinitely. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2457215161128658607694504284388/DSC01008-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2457215367086556190661648077028/ikat-printer.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2457215444286180139136121589988/chaff-67-copy.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2457215578892071644994719731940/Copy-of-DSC01031-1-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2457216252161336847245934612708/chaff-47-copy.jpg https://bhavanisrinivas.com/light-trash-1 2026-07-03T19:08:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G1839424032630476934780769554660/chaff-90-copy.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L1839424032648923678854479106276/Light-trash-copy.JPG Light trash, 2020 Cotton yarn, synthetic dye, lampworked glass, silk, indigo, cochineal, charcoal, foam, silicone, plaster, carpet 68 x 95 x 118 in https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I1839424032667370422928188657892/DSC00797-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T1839424032685817167001898209508/DSC00816-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K1839424032575136702559640899812/DSC00759-copy.JPG https://bhavanisrinivas.com/happy-only 2026-07-03T19:08:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W1839424262808949486528554619108/DSC00895-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C1839424262772055998381135515876/chaff-42-copy.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1839424262827396230602264170724/DSC00515-copy.JPG Happy only, 2020 Cotton yarn, engraved eversilver https://bhavanisrinivas.com/gaganendranth-tagore 2026-07-03T19:08:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://bhavanisrinivas.com/inanimate-scream 2026-07-03T19:08:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2505825074959747733476375548132/bist_edits-8-2.JPG Inanimate Scream: Inanimate Nature Responding Responding to the Professor’s Musings after Gaganendranath Tagore, 2024 Glass, camphor smoke, gouache 16 x 12 in I lit camphor incense and swiveled a pane of glass above the tall flame, catching rolls of black smoke on the surface.

I wanted to adapt the scientific material of smoked glass into a surface for painting. This is a study of a sketch on a postcard by Bengali artist and contemporary to Bose, Gaganendranath Tagore. The sketch interprets Bose’s findings on the effects of artificial light on plant growth as an allegory for “academic light” that cultivates the Bengali intellectual class. On the back of the postcard, Tagore writes a short note to the recipient, asking “What do you think of this?” https://bhavanisrinivas.com/falling-through-the-little-edges-1 2026-07-03T19:08:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://bhavanisrinivas.com/little-edges 2026-07-03T18:52:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2505663327266881581592367878372/IMG_0369.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2505663563366758981000919011556/6F7B9C53-DFC3-4DE8-B350-31A3925D9F38.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2505663855876779757813278986468/IMG_0088.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2505663911124778258573386076388/kattiuurai.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2505664071316303794667132309732/IMG_0275.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2505665757016670738393378083044/IMG_0373.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2505796376474548547988868059364/IMG_0091.JPG https://bhavanisrinivas.com/amma-map-copper 2026-07-03T18:52:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N2230231133033759856734379462884/resized-amma-map.jpg Amma map, 2021 Copper, silk organza, lentils, rices, tamarind seeds, black pepper, fenugreek, cumin, black mustard seeds, palm sugar 18 x 24 x 1 in I asked my mother, Ganga Srinivas, to write out her perspective on what defines Tamil cooking.
