 Monica Jahan Bose’s first ceramic sari\, called “Rising\,” which will be i
 nstalled in the Kalorama Triangle alley behind her studio. The ceramic til
 e mural will be mounted on the garage wall of the home of Mary Miller and 
 Dennis Farley. We will have an unveiling celebration on March 9 from 3-5 p
 m in the alley behind 2015 and 2017 Belmont Rd\, NW. Monica’s studio will 
 also be open and there will be a film screening of the performances that i
 nspired the “Rising” ceramic work.</p>\n<p>“Rising” speaks to our connecti
 on as humans with the outdoor environment\, including the water\, the tree
 s\, and other species.  It is designed with ceramic tiles using the same t
 echniques and design concepts as the Storytelling with Saris saris.  As in
  the fabric saris\, the border tiles feature woodblock patterns. The tiles
  were rolled out by hand out of reclaimed clay.  Monica pressed her sari w
 oodblocks into the wet clay to create impressions. These border tiles were
  then handpainted using wax resist technique.  The middle tiles of the sar
 i comprise a figurative painting that Monica painted by hand using glazes.
 </p>\n<p>Monica worked with ceramic artist and fabricator Elle Brande of M
 oonlight Studios in Beltsville\, Maryland to create the work over the cour
 se of several months.   Monica and Elle were colleagues at Red Dirt Studio
  many years ago and Elle assisted Monica in some of her very first perform
 ances with saris.  We are thrilled to share this brand new work with the c
 ommunity. It serves as a small-scale prototype for future projects.</p>
