I am Priyal Patel, a multidisciplinary artist

and natural dye alchemist from India,

currently based in London.My practice

explores the evolving relationship

between bodies, land, and sytems—

investigating how we interact with

structures, both human and non-human

, and how these interactions shape our

perception of self and place. I am drawn

to the subtle exchanges between

matter and memory, presence and absence,

and how the body becomes a site of these

negotiations.Drawing from my background

as a textile and graphic designer, as well as

my independent art practice over the past

two years, my work integrates these disciplines

that inform and enrich one another. I paint/

print primarily with natural pigments on

reclaimed fabrics, and my process is slow,

ritualistic, and intuitive—an act of

remembering and reconnecting.
