Having grown up in India’s traditional caste-based society, Iyli identifies as belonging to the female Indian weaver’s community. She references weaving, stitching and pattern making in her art. The artist utilizes remnant thread sourced directly from weaver communities. She collects these recycled materials while on her annual trips to Southern India. Through her use of silk threads and plexiglas tubes, she spins vibrant colors inspired by traditional Saris.
