About
Bhoomika Prasad (भूमिका) is a textile designer and fiber artist based in Brooklyn, New York.
Before language, there was cloth, and cloth, for me, has always been a way of thinking. My practice moves between the loom and the research desk, translating invisible forces into woven form. I work with copper wire, optic fibers, wool, linen, and recycled cotton across handloom and TC2 Jacquard, materials that carry both structural logic and sensory weight.
My MFA thesis, Woven Vibration, grew from a simple question: what does sound look like when it becomes material? The series translates acoustic wave phenomena, specifically Chladni figures, into woven sculptures across five pieces: Confluent Patterns, Homophony, Polyphony, Transverse, and Ripples. The work lives at the intersection of physics, handcraft, and digital manipulation.
On the industry side, I bring experience in surface and print design, CAD, colorwork, and production. I interned at F. Schumacher & Co., where I worked with the print archive and recolored designs for new collections. I currently teach weaving at Loop of the Loom, New York, to students from ages 5 to 85, because I believe the loom is for everyone.
I hold an MFA in Fiber, Textile and Weaving Arts from Parsons School of Design (2025) and a B.Des from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Kangra (2023). My work has been exhibited at NeoCon Chicago and the SDA Future Tense exhibition, recognised by Arts Thread's Global Graduates Create Showcase, and published through a collaboration with the UN IOM, Aquafil, and Parsons, Pattern Passage, a textile project visualising migration data.
I let the material live as it wants to. I simply give it a new means to exist.
