Whirl

Currents of water twisting and turning, a quick and confusing movement.

–

The flow of water is one of the hardest things to render, and through the course of history artists have come up with their own ways of capturing its shifting qualities. This print is also available as part of the Water Flows gift pack that depicts the particular and universal characteristics of water in motion. Fluidly moving across a range of graphic styles, water drifts, gushes, trickles, and ripples across the surface of paper.

This print is made using environmentally friendly soy-based inks on a risograph machine. Tara Books is among the first to experiment with riso-printing on a commercial scale in India. The medium allows for transparencies and overlays that add layers and depth, making it especially suited for rendering the prints in this collection.

Mithila Art

Colourful, vibrant, yet extremely delicate, Mithila art is primarily done by women living in small rural communities in the State of Bihar. Also known as Madhubani painting, this art form originated from the decorative patterns traced by women on the walls and floors of their homes and community spaces.
