Tabla Tapestry 02 by Seema Lisa Pandya 2016: Tabla drum heads 15'-0"x 7-6"x Tabla Tapestry 02 is an installation art piece made from used tabla pudis (the skins of the Indian classical tabla drum) donated by tabla schools and professional tabla percussionists. Each round 'pudi' has had hundreds of hours of concentrated energetic rhythmic practice by musicians until the skin is no longer usable. Seema has woven these rhythmical instrument parts together in a form she describes as representative of a rhythmical "push-pull" "inhale-exhale" balance that is a fundamental building block of natural forms. This piece was show at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn NY as part of Brooklyn Raga Massive's 2016 residency.
