Tracing Blue — Hampi Art Labs 
India. 3-Months Residency 

​​

​

During my residency at Hampi Art Labs, I worked with indigo as a material shaped by land, climate, labour, and memory.

​

Hampi is a landscape where stone architecture, agriculture, ritual, and daily life remain closely linked. Indigo was approached not as a colour, but as a living process—responsive to water, temperature, fermentation, and time. Each step required adjustment, patience, and care.

​

Working with local materials and in dialogue with artisans, farmers, and the surrounding environment, the making unfolded through observation rather than assertion. Within the historic landscape of Hampi, my practice unfolded through installations, offerings, and shared processes, developed in close dialogue with local materials, communities, and site-specific conditions.
