Summary: Brigitte Singh first came to Sanganer, Jaipur's hand block-printing centre, as a student of miniatures, and today, 30 years later, the visual almanac of her work gives us a truly alternate way to read medieval and modern civilisational encounters-through the evolution and transmission of motifs and craft techniques over centuries. Singh's exquisite work with blockprints is a form of re-enacted design history, rendered in visual rather than textual terms. Uncovering and reaching down to the purer forms, to the composite aesthetic of the 18th century, it offers a singular source of access to a seminal epoch in design.
