About Wovensouls
*
   
The Art of Vanishing Cultures came into my life in the late 1990s
*
The aesthetic, the technical craft and more importantly
the cultural stories of usage embedded within them
held an irresistible appeal.
*

And so I acquired them - one artwork at a time - with the idea of living with them forever.

Over the years the collection grew

and my children grew up surrounded by a visual feast!

*

However, I soon realised that these artworks have a much longer life than I.

I am only their temporary custodian.

And I have the responsibility of securing a long healthy life for each.

So the online gallery WOVENSOULS was born.

Through this website I have passed on about 990+

of these beloved timeless treasures to other loving owners. 

*

The joys that come from

studying the details of the artwork or

stumbling upon clues to ethnographic migrations or 

reading about the mesmerising cultural traditions surrounding the art

have kept me deeply engaged for over 2 decades. 

*

I manage all aspects of WOVENSOULS myself - the acquisition with 3am auction bids, the photography, the writing, the reading and finally the creation of this website. 

All of this is a  "SVANTUH SUKHAAYE" endeavour (sanskrit for fulfillment of the self).

And I hope you will enjoy your time spent on wovensouls just as much as I have.
