Hanging by a Thread 3

For Lakshi Madhavan’s third iteration of her key art installation titled ‘Hanging by a Thread’ we were tasked with showcasing the repetitive motions of the weavers and the looms projected on the customised Kasavu textile.

In order to capture the essence of the harmony motion between the body and the loom, charcoal illustrations were created in a style inspired by William Kentridge. Multiple frames created depicting the different positions of the body part which is then played out as a frame by frame animation.
