I’ve been thinking about all the senses harnessed for meditation and here I was thinking about the sense of Taste which I felt could best be shown through the mango.

I was interested in a colour shift from the complementary colours green to red and how ripe mangoes can be both these seeming opposites.

The mango is such an archetypal shape - transformed in embroidery/textiles into the paisley - I wanted to just simplify it thinking of an Andy Warhol-style repeated simplicity.

The mango tree, as with so many trees in India, is sacred to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. In Hinduism it is considered the incarnation of Prajapati, Lord of creation and it is thought of as a “kalpa vriksha” a wish-fulfilling tree. And mango leaves are considered auspicious.
