Each print has a background that is unique, created by printing abstract images of activist events onto jamdani sari cloth, and catching the ink that bleeds through onto the paper. A field of objects – fruits, flowers and birds, swathes of cloth, a megaphone, an ornate table – float atop the patterned ground.  I think of the composition as a deconstructed 21st century “still life” ( what stillness? what ground?) where distinctions between interior and exterior space fall apart. The piece pays homage to Latin America’s Green wave and India’s Gulabi Gang, as international feminist movements. It's title is derived from a line in ‘Revolutionary Time’ by Fanny Söderbäck.
