Day 43 of .residency

I had a very humbling experience today. Trying to quickly get out of the way an unusually fast moooving cow, a fly comes directly into my face. So I end punching myself & then step in said cow 💩

Hahaha

Life

Laughed at myself the whole way home

I had my tarot read & had some wonderful messages to uncover. It’s really ignited me to use my voice. A big deal for me but we are stepping into fear/power these days.

Got a lot of painting done. Need to finish my ‘Air’ work in magic time to begin culminating the works with a mini film 🫶🏽

It’s all happening. Counting my blessings to be here even if I do have Delhi belly 😭💩🤣

Day 41 of .residency ⚔️

Finding healing in the flow state. I love being in the creative flow. Energy becomes limitless & you feel like you’re on some dreamlike ride with lots of twists & turns. Nothing like it 🎠

Today I decided to visit JKK to see a specific show by Shikha Soni which was absolutely brilliant. I was trying to get into it more but unfortunately I was being followed.. again! From the street to the cafe (he sat as close to me as possible) & to the show this old man was stalking me. In the show (ironically about schizophrenia) he was pretending to look at artworks whist grossly smiling & starring at me relentlessly. Such a repulsive man. He would not leave me peace & even managed to find me once I quickly ran off to security. Makes me wonder what he wanted as an outcome? & how old he thought I was? Some men need to burn…

Anyway I he’s not getting centre stage today. I found myself back at the studio. Still shaken with anger but received some helpful advice from lovely friends online thanks .physio I poured that anxiety & frustration into something else. Getting it out of my body. Worked on the air painting. This ethereal being of liberation & joy 🕊️

I can’t control what that man does but I can control how I look after myself after an experience like that. So a gluten free dark chocolate cake was in order 🫶🏽 watched the end of One Day, cried my eyes out & painted 🥲

What is life?

Home early, warm, cosy & safe 🤎

Only 14 sleeps till my Joel & Mum get here 🏠x

Full Purnima moon in Virgo tonight 🪩

Time to organise to create peace of mind 🧘🏽‍♀️

Feeling the change to get my flow in order. I did a big studio tidy. I reflected back on my work with the lovely company of shreeya from seeing all the works I’ve made lined up was quite an overwhelming experience. I’m so proud of the vitality & grounding I have managed to keep so raw in the works 🙏🏽 they tell a completely different story in person x

I had a lovely morning with her nattering about life & art. Beautiful reflections & inspiration for when I grow my own family.

Then I got into the flowwwww

Did a very quick watercolour of three cloud dancers gliding in a pink sky. Loosing themselves in the smoke. That disappearing & reappearing is really exciting for me. This one feels like it’s assending into passion & joy.

I came home early to eat dhaal :) and do my own full moon ceremony x x x

Day 35 of .residency 🪩

Back into the groove 🕺🏽

I got up early to have a massage to release tension from my trip. The quality of massage you get here for the price is absolutely insane, very glad I was turned to this in my first week 👌🏾

All of the broken Hindi I was speaking has completely turned into Gujarati from being there for a few days 🤣 now it’s trying to carve it back Ha! Truly speaking Hinratish! Lol (Hindi/Gujarati/English)

Got back into studio, I’m focused to finish my work this week to begin preparations for Air x

So so lovely to be back, glad I got to see my love before she scooted off to her next adventure x x x

Navsari, Gujarat

I’m so glad I got to see this place for a few days on this creative awakening trip. It wasn’t something I had planned to face but that is exactly as these things seem to go. You turn one stone & then you feel the need to see whats lying underneath all of the others.

It was a difficult and emotionally overwhelming trip to Navsari but never the less grateful to have been able to make it.

Walking the land my foremothers would have walked for generations back. I did feel at home.

Even in the strangeness of being in my late dads home, it did feel it was like mine. It was too much to take in in just one moment. I hadn’t seen him in 11 years. I found myself taking mental photos, trying to remember the sensations for when I feel ready to sort through later. I found a broken peacock feather nearby where his ashes are scattered over my grandmothers grave. This memento should help take me back x

Breathing here for a moment made me so so so soo full of pride for my mother. I am so proud to be her daughter. Thinking about her turbulent tough journey, the choices she had to make & how she brought us girls up to be completely independent & free to pursue our wildest dreams x

Day 34 of .residency

Today was actually lovely aside from the fact I completely steered off my plan. Did some dancing in the studio early morning which you may have seen in my previous reel.

Then collected some pieces I had stitched. I got something special made to make me feel very me, golden Bandini :) I got it ready for a special trip I’m making tomorrow back do late dads home in Changa, Gujarat. Last time I visited I must have been 5?

I’m not ready for this trip, but it’s important. We had a very rough relationship, he had huge addiction problems & was extremely abuse to my mother & us children. He was a product of the toxic masculinity he was raised in.

Scared by my mother & eldest sisters intellect he resorted to more alcoholism & violence every night. This was our little world for a long while.

Thank goodness for my powerful fearless mother made the hard choice to bear the brunt of the community & divorce him. I wouldn’t be the women I am today without her making those choices.

Even for a confusing relationship like that, emotions are emotions. He is the make up of me. He’s the reason I have my darker glow ✨ taught me how to draw, tried to to teach me kick-boxing lol amongst others things, he loved me.

I go to his home tomorrow where there are no photos but one, his portrait.

I don’t know how to be, my only plan is to simply breathe.

Day 32 of .residency 🔱

Significant day as its the 11th (angel days are always to be celebrated) & 32 is how many times I’ve been around this moon 🌙

Simple Sunday, rose later & visted the paint shop to get more metallics. The bottles were stamped with my initials lol so I had to get them ofc! I really thought I’d be a lot more abstract with the work i’m making here & perhaps minimal with my colour choices & focusing more on gesture. Buuttt being in the abundance and magic of - more is absolutely more. This Queen’s studio is the space to be loud with expression. So I’m letting myself be moreee x

My earth work is falling more into place. The new metallics are really grounding whist creating richness in layers & texture. I’m using Vyjayantimala’s face are a reference for the deity which feels like a sweet ode to my love of vintage Bollywood screen heroines x

Bought a beautiful new lipstick :) make up shopping in a country that understands your skin is something else. Never have I been spoilt for choice at the lipstick counter? So many colours matched me, never ever happens back in the UK. I always end up mixing shades or tint with a lip pencil. When I decide which I want I’m allowing myself to have three, trying to not come back way waayyyy to many things lol

Lastly the moon was a gorgeous lemon slice tonight x
