stitching red dots

Ancestral scroll project: stitching red dots for each of my maternal aunts, my maternal uncle and my mother. My grandmother Gurbachan Kaur had four children.

By stitching red dots I'm making connections. Seeing patterns. How history repeats across generations and continents.

My scroll process is inspired by many folks, over a long while. Most recently artist and elder-sister @carole.shearman and Portuguese artist @alexcastroferreira7770 whose process/work inspires me endlessly. Thank you 🙏🏽
