Starting with What's at Hand

I am here at Sanskriti with artists Adria Arch from Boston and Hartash Dale from London.  We have started to explore the grounds by making rubbings of some ceramic tiles and an unusual asymmetrical sewer grate. 


    



    



The shapes from the sewer grate suggest tri-cornered teeth, dog biscuits or cartoon trilobites.

The wonderful shadow puppets on display in the Sanskriti gallery are mostly from Andrah Pradesh. They are made from painted leather and jointed at head, limbs, wrist, elbow, shoulder, ankle, knee and hip for ease of animated action.
