Rangoli is a folk art from India that uses colored sand and/or flowers to create geometric or floral patterns on the floor. Rangoli is created at the entrance of a house during festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Onam, Ganesh Chaturthi to bring good luck and for positive energy flow.

 

Rangoli is also known as kolam, pookolam, mandala in different parts of the Indian subcontinent.

I grew up in a culture that is rich in traditions, ceremonies, vibrant colors, sounds, aromas..a feast for all your senses. These experiences have become part of community's and individual's subconcious and concious energy and I draw upon these during my art making and art sharing.        - Aeilushi Mistry
