During the visit to applique cluster in Dec 2024, we met Kuvar Ba born in 1964. Harkhu, Bharmi, Teju and Kuvar are 4 sisters out of which Teju ben worked on for the surface of this piece. Out of all Teju ben was the most challenging to work with. If you see 2 out of 8 motifs to be not identical, that has to be Teju ben. She will try to comfort you saying” I liked the way it looked and that it has a meaning behind it” while there is none.
Have you seen the video of her yet? She sang beautiful melodies while working on this piece.
