‘Fantasy Foliage’ by Apoorva Varma investigates aspects that create an immersive environment as well as narrative in spaces. It aims to explore the characteristics of art installed in specific ways that result in the viewer feeling transported to a different reality, an altered reality, which is designed by the artist. This textile installation is based on the translations of fantasy and dreams of the artist. She has adopted the persona of a “Textile Fantasy Author”. Just as an author uses words in a book to envision a space, this project uses textiles to convey the personality of the space. There is a strong need to explore a textile piece the same way a fantasy author or poet uses their imagination to create a unique and ornate world of quality. ‘Fantasy Foliage’ is intended to be sublimation of ideas; from thought to space and text to textile, challenging what creates a narrative.
