Artists have a way of imbibing their surroundings into their work. And that is what embroidery artist Anuradha Bhaumick does with needle and thread. Embroidering indoor scenes that have become all too familiar during the pandemic, Bhaumick aims to detail out our relationship with the spaces we inhabit, and the value objects within these spaces hold in our lives. She narrates, “Everything I make — be it a piano, a gramophone, a hanging plant or a single rose — these objects add value to life and make it better. They symbolise some memory, and form a special part of someone’s life.”
