The sight of a rugged, upended fabric forest will interrupt visitors to this year’s IAF. Swathes of hand-stitched material swatches, incorporating clothing and upholstery samples, along with painted panels will be suspended from a structure to form the installation of Imon Chetia Phukan, who is one of IAF’s three artists-in-residence this year. For Phukan the work is both a nod to her homeland in Assam and an expression of her visceral connection to nature.
