The Library

Rangoli's are where folk art, religious practices and generative processes meet. Kind of....

The process for making these - exclusively by women and girls in front of their houses - is pretty much entirely procedural. These are from a Rangoli pattern book that I picked up in India more than 15 years ago. I have a dozen of these books and their print quality is gorgeous, perhaps riso'd.

Ah thanks, that's great to hear! I left dataisnature up as an archive until only this year. Couldn’t afford the hosting any more. Apart from a few html saves to drive it now exists only as a huge .sql file. At least I have something from it. Thanks kindly for the tips

still love these as much as ~15 yrs ago... I believe I first heard about rangolis on dataisnature... still at the core of my inspirational cosmos. if I would have degen allocation, I would lift the hat, but will stick to the way of usdc tipping :) 

thanks for sharing
