Embroidered Postcards

Embroidered Postcards was born from observing and sketching the artist - Tulika Saxena's surroundings and converting them to realistic, hand-embroidered postcards. The work focuses on slow, handmade embroidery on paper, with thread as the primary medium, and each postcard is created individually or in small batches. These pieces are intimate, tactile objects, meant to be kept, or gifted, rather than mass-produced artworks. Their practice is shaped by a close, everyday relationship with nature, especially the trees, flowers, and landscapes. The postcards function as small repositories of lived moments, capturing seasons, walks, and fleeting details of the natural world. Through this work, the artist hopes that whoever holds a postcard carries a sense of emotional connection to a place and a moment in time.
