T. Krishnapriya

T. Krishnapriya is a visual artist born and raised in Jaffna, surrounded by rich traditions, textures, and visual culture that naturally shaped her artistic sensibilities from a young age. Her practice explores processes such as drawing, staining, soaking, pressing, and imprinting, reflecting her interest in how materials can carry traces of memory, place, and lived experience. Deeply drawn to natural pigments, Krishnapriya is particularly interested in extracting colour from seaweed and experimenting with how these pigments can be integrated into her artistic practice. Through the workshop, she hopes to further explore the possibilities of transforming seaweed into fibre while learning more about sustainable pigment extraction from practitioners working closely with the material.
