Planning not to leave @TridentMumbai for the next 4 days so I can chill and re-centre myself #emotionally in being an #artist. Seriously #sensoryoverloaded should of checked in 2 days early. 💜 my #braids got then done the #salon . The #choclatecheesecake is truly #scrumpcious

Exciting news to share finally doing an mini solo show here in #London, hopefully this November. The show will hopefully include an #artyfarty #chitchat with me. So watch this space! Init #ThePersonasofMehraj #textileart #breakingthenarrative #colour #contemporarart

Playing with media, all I can do is get better init.

Picked up these beauties from the lovely gardeners at @HornimanMuseum. Preparing natural dyes to dye #bamboo fabric for my workshop this coming Saturday.

Since doing #sbadoesherma @uhcreatives I’m following my #dyeing journey @morleycollege on their #seasonaldye #course #sbadyes

Hope to go this Saturday

Been quiet here but you can see images on my Insta page! instagram.com/mehrajart?igsh…

What a wonderful year!

I deliberately stayed away from creating work that suits a narrative and it be fetishised, kitsch and/or have a direct illustrative representation of who I am as a #British #Muslim #female. I wanted to explore the true materiality of textiles through colour and the use of copper.

Plan for space added angled walls to the space @uhcreatives #sbadoesherma

Setting up space @uhcreatives for #sbadoesherma wanted to link all my work with the colour of #newsprintpaper. Mixing colour by eye!
