Artist and curator Vara Ramakrishnan presented a one-day exhibition titled 'Journey and Exile' at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, featuring 34 Kanjeevaram saris reimagined with artwork by artists and master weavers.

Cassandra Dias Takes an Impressionistic Approach to Painting with Thread

Cassandra Dias, a Southern California-based artist, creates lush embroideries of natural landscapes using thread painting, a technique that mimics the gestural strokes of a paintbrush. Since taking up needle and thread in 2020, she has developed an impressionistic style that captures cliffsides, vineyards, and mountains in richly textured scenes. Her forthcoming book, "Richly Stitched Landscape Embroidery: Mastering Thread Painted Scenes," is set for release in May and is available for pre-order through the Colossal Shop.
