Patina refers to oxidisation of metal. To me, it is finding beauty in the old, ageing and decaying. 

While working with block printers, I discovered that when printing on a fabric, the pigment sieves down to the table cover and forms interesting one-of-a-kind prints. These prints are a play with traditional Indian motifs, take weeks to be made, create layers of many colors and can never be reproduced in the same way. To my surprise, the printers would throw away these fabrics as waste. In Patina, I have repurposed these fabrics with handloom Bhagalpuri linen.
