A Limerick and a Block

One Diwali day, while in the campus I stayed
I gathered a lot of junk and packed it in my trunk.
I moved one day with all the junk that lay
In the trunk which I only opened after a year in Bombay.
I found rocks and socks and wooden blocks
Of which I painted a block in the memory of that Diwali day.

Planets and Moons, Bubbles and Paint

Continuing from all the digging the other day, I created some planets and moons to go with the galactic textures I made before.

Inky Galaxy

It was a regular day of digging into the art-cupboard.

A few things made sense today. I found inks and glass paints and colour paper.
Throw in some salt and I found a Galaxy on my desk.

GALAXY 1

GALAXY 2

*sigh*

3 months
On the road
Off the road
Of the road
Out of a bag
And back in.

I'm sitting now
Thinking, cutting, pasting, creating.
I'm happy.

Rec-room capture

Damayanti posted a picture on Facebook of one of the rec-room parties we had a year and a half back. Something intrigued me about everyone's action in the picture. Since I spent a lot of time cutting and gluing things together to make a series of collages in the past two days, I held on to the tools and made my version...

They hang on my window.

Lost time

Long long ago I glued paper-strips together while thinking how college would be...

#Plan 171

One of those plans that happened @ NID where Sukriti and I had decided to stay in t he hostel through the year without a break so that we could become monsters at the end of the whole thing!!!

Constant Confusion

In between external information and self-expression
I suffer, I learn, I complain, I enjoy, I live.

Loyalty

I have not bought a writing book for a year and a half. I feel almost guilty doing so.
When I'm in need of a book, I bind and cut it myself.
It is a little bit wonky but I believe I will get to perfection and make pure hand-bound books

Temporary Retirement

I have left work for a while to document my diploma project in order to convocate on time.

I felt powerful yesterday but it faded away today.

Sitting at Jon/Sang's place I have all the time for thinking, tinkering, writing, cooking, chai, freelancing, doodling, spell-towering and yet there seems to me a nagging deadline so near but so far away.

Documentation Woes

Black Sun

The time difference between my posts seem to be steadily increasing!
Its just once in a while that some project comes prancing around that does not demand much formality.
The time it spends with you is short but intense and fully engulfing.

One such project was by Legends of Rock hosting Black Sun-the band that rocks the blues, I think...
I came in where they required posters designed for the event. I was automatically transported to Poster Wars in NID- for Teams, Films and Dates.
So this is to you BLACK SUN... Spread your Darkness!!!

S can I?

My first ever canvas and it was up in the One Square Foot exhibition in collaboration with Studio Verve, Artists and Designers.
I realized why I never did a canvas painting...a canvas demands from me to be formal and relevant and worth the effort in stretching and mounting. Also the colour white by itself in intimidating and scary 

My work is the one with feet together.
It reads 'This is all the personal space you have'- taking the name of the exhibition literally, to send out a message.

Sundried-smashed-pressed-ironed-preserved-tomatoes

Just an attempt to create textures and effects. More to come hopefully...

Breaking Books

This is a booklet of Posters we got as a part of the kit at Design Yatra 2010

Not having the slightest inclination to put them, I did what I do best, with them- Bind

And how best to use a book of delicious visual texture and fully experimental layouts- COLLAGE

Presenting the first few in the book...
