[{"content":" On the other side ~ book with Cyanotype and poetry Pele Par (On the Other Side) is a compilation of cyanotype visuals and poems—exploring ecological representation through visual art and poetry writing. The visuals, created through the cyanotype process, respond to embodied impressions formed during time spent by the Kaveri river. They reflect imagery and sensations deeply rooted in those experiences, while also drawing from broader ecological memories across landscapes. The writings reflect how the narration of nature is often interwoven with emotion, giving the landscape an animated, living quality. Together, the poems and images evoke a sensory and emotional exploration of presence, memory, and place.\n*Today I’ll go to that river and lake to fill some colours while going I asked the rays of the sun, ‘will you come with me?’*\n*keep meeting me at the other side of the ocean*\n*હું પાણી બનીને રહીશ જ્યાં જગ્યા મળશે ત્યાંથી વહીશ જેટલી જગ્યા મળશે ત્યાં રહીશ જરૂર પડશે તો બરફ બની જઈશ જગ્યા નહી હોય તો વરાળ બની રહીશ અદ્રશ્ય. જીવનનાં દરેક તબક્કે પાણી જ બનીશ હંમેશા વહેતી રહીશ.*\n*I will remain as water I will flow wherever I find space I will remain as much space as I find If necessary, I will become ice If there is no space, I will remain invisible as vapor.

These gatherings invite participants to pause, connect, and respond creatively to the world around them. Our core practices include drawing, writing, poetry, and discussion—each cultivating deeper awareness of place and self.\nFollow @k_o_s_h_ on Instagram This collective is an extension of my artistic research and practice.

This work reflects my journey attempt to explore the city, finding new places, spaces, and conversations that ultimately gravitate me to connect/reconnect with the familiar. This tapestry serves as a large-scale magnified abstract from my journal. It encapsulates my thoughts and emotions about the city’s heritage, streets, homes, and conversations. Writing in my mother tongue, Gujarati reinforces my deep-rooted connection to this place. I chose handwoven Khadi cloth to represent Amdavad’s strong connection to this fabric, symbolizing simplicity and tradition. Using natural dyes and sustainable materials helps reconnect with this heritage. The process of creating this work is both personal and meditative, the city’s traditions while making the act of creation as meaningful as the artwork itself.\nPaachi Vadi Handwoven Khadi cloth, Natural dye, Bamboo Exhibited at Dahyabhai Mehta ni Haveli, Desai ni pol, Old city, Ahmedabad, 2025 ","date":"23 August 2025","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/projects/paachi-vadi/","section":"Projects","summary":"","title":"Paachi Vadi (પાછી વળી)","type":"projects"},{"content":"This project explores the expressive power of Gujarati letterforms through large-scale calligraphy installations and wearable art.

Working across calligraphy, installation, performance, and ecological art, she responds keenly to unfolding moments through observation, reflection, and an ongoing dialogue with her surroundings. These instances of awareness anchor her creative process.\nSheth earned her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts (Applied Arts) from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, and then pursued a Master’s in Visual Communication at Srishti Manipal Institute, Bangalore. While studying, she attended an exchange semester at Linnaeus University, Sweden, where her focus on Climate Emergency Studies heightened her ecological awareness, perception, and site-specific practice.\nAs a practitioner who works with her mother tongue, Gujarati, she explores the script in different forms beyond its classical usage and interpretation, making it more playful and engaging for everyone who interacts with the work. She also combines her practice of writing poems and scribbling conversations with calligraphy and other visual mediums, presenting them in a way that allows people to engage and immerse themselves in them. Some of these outcomes include art installations, scribbling poems, and conversations with the people living in the city where she belongs. Also in the book compilations, she has used illustrations, drawings and cyanotype visuals with poems, designing the books in a way that makes the experience more profound, and the moment of pause can be experienced by the people interacting with them. She works in both the directions, where people can engage with her work in their own spaces and one which is in a public space, where the surroundings affect the way one is going to experience the work. She also translated her ecological and poetic reflections into an art installation, where the architecture and space added to the dialogue she wished to create.\nTo extend the practice of being in the present, she vigorously went on finding new ways to explore the relationship between ecology and creative practice while being more present with the ecological spaces around her. The explorations led her to make ‘Eco-Letters’: using the found natural elements, the letterform is crafted, aligning with the practice of calligraphy, language and poetry. Another such experiment with being in the present led her to do the calligraphy performance, where she let the strokes get influenced by the live music while attempting to make letterforms.\nTo share the practice of Ecological consciousness through creative practices, she started an eco-art initiative called ‘KOSH’, which literally translates as ‘cell’: the smallest fundamental unit of any living being. Having that concept in mind, let’s connect with the ecological spaces around us on an individual level, use the creative practices that are very intuitive to humans to engage with the natural landscape and really see what we are part of. With this approach, she offers curated experiences, workshops and hosts public events in open and natural settings.\nView some of the projects here: # ⁠Lay ni Shodhma In seach of Harmony ~ book exploring harmony in river ecosystems and self ⁠Abstract Calligraphy ⁠Calligraphy installations ⁠Paachi vadi - installation on “returning back” (to hometown) ⁠Pele par (at the other side ~ book with Cyanotype and poetry) ⁠Kosh Collective Wearable Art ","date":"1 April 2025","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/about/","section":"Krishna Sheth","summary":"","title":"About","type":"page"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Categories","type":"categories"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/series/","section":"Series","summary":"","title":"Series","type":"series"}]
