Artist Profile
Tushita Singh
Embroidery artist from New Delhi
Tushita graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Gandhinagar, Gujarat in May 2004. She has since worked as an Apparel Designer with various export and buying houses. She completed her Post Graduation in Cultural Management from the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) and Post Graduation in Indian Aesthetics from Jnanapravaha, Mumbai. In the past 18 years, she has closely observed how hand embroidery techniques seem to be losing their rightful place in the segment of surface ornamentation. The core idea behind her creating these hand embroidered artworks is to highlight the significance of hand embroideries, which seems to be diminishing due to the adoption of fast fashion labels across the globe.
