Some people call the later ones petitpoints.
In the Western world, the creation and enhancement of textiles as an art form was revivified almost half a century ago by the seminal work of Lenore Tawney, a dear friend and long-time mentor of my work. It was a whole new way of seeing the world. The first five needlepoints were created between 1975 and 1982 as I travelled the United States and other parts of the world for the American Film Institute as Directory of National Productin Progams. From 1982 to 1993 more needlepoints were done on walks, travels, excursions, and as diaries about the many places I have lived and the many fields I have studied. The latest works touch on some of the complexity and beauty of North Indian Classical Music, its rhythmic and melodic patterns.
