Space in Between

Explore how removing threads from cloth can create lines, patterns, and spaces within the fabric itself. Led by artist Jaimini Jariwala, the workshop draws connections with the practices of Nasreen Mohamedi and Bice Lazzari, inviting participants to discover how absence, repetition, and rhythm become elements of artistic expression.

Working directly with cloth, participants carefully remove individual threads to create gaps, shapes, and patterns within the fabric’s existing structure. Through hands-on experimentation, they explore the relationship between presence and absence, transforming a familiar material into a delicate drawing through subtraction.
