A link between Indian and western textile art, Monika Correa uses warp and weft not only as an art technique, but also as a tool to build and analyse the history of textile art itself. Her tapestries seek and find, with their irreducible materiality, a place among the fine arts and in the recent history of India and its trade relations, through the richness of the wool and cotton used and the depiction of subjects, whose presence is either figurative or only understood as a vehicle for an original, proud Indian artmaking.
