Bird Song

Somewhere there will be a poem that says something like ” The feathers that fall, will paint the air, of things that a bird has seen” This Kalamkari piece is an illustration of that idea. 

A few years ago when I was working at the community studios at the Lalit Kala Academy Chennai.  I wanted to be inspired and I decided to travel Varanasi, I used all the money I had to book a train ticket.

 I completed this piece a few days before my journey and had left it at LK. Couple of days before my trip, someone came to the studio and bought this painting when I was not there. On the day of my travel, the cheque cleared and I had enough money to make the trip. 

I did not have a proper photograph of this work, and yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find a low resolution photo of this work.
