This work uses a muted, aged-looking ground with three prominent dark, rounded forms placed along a diagonal path. Around them, extremely fine stitches create a soft, almost cloud-like field. The contrast between the large, solid forms and the delicate surrounding embroidery gives the composition a sense of weight and pause. The forms can be read simply as marks within the landscape of the cloth rather than as a fixed symbol. The work is particularly concerned with the relationship between an exposed surface and the small repeated gestures of the needle.
The Artform
Sujini is a traditional embroidery art form from Bihar, particularly associated with the Muzaffarpur region. Traditionally practiced by women, it involves layering fabric and using fine running stitches to create intricate surfaces. The art form often draws inspiration from nature, everyday life, folklore, and personal experiences.
Today, Sujini continues to evolve through contemporary interpretations while retaining its distinctive hand-stitched character. Its repetitive stitches, tactile surfaces, and thoughtful narratives make it a unique textile practice that connects traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression.
The Artist
Sneha is a contemporary Sujini textile artist whose practice explores the expressive possibilities of hand-stitched surfaces. Working with layered fabrics, embroidery, and carefully built textures, she creates atmospheric compositions inspired by nature, landscapes, organic forms, and the passage of time.
Her works balance traditional Sujini stitching with a contemporary visual language. Delicate repetitive stitches, earthy neutrals, deep blues, metallic accents, and raw textile textures come together to create pieces that feel both tactile and contemplative. Through her practice, Sneha brings the quiet, meditative quality of hand embroidery into a contemporary art context.
