My subjects are not just women. I moved from ‘women in interiors’ series of the 70s and 80s to wider social issues like the 1984 Sikh massacre, Widows of Vrindavan, Kabir, Nanak, Buddha, 1947 partition, Hiroshima, Environment (begun in 1988, when I saw Delhi changing and trees disappearing), Sohni - the love story, Yogis and Yoginis and my favourite subject of Time in my ‘Day and Night’ series where a yellow Day embroiders the thread of life and black night cuts using the motif of scissors for time.
