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.
