STONE SCULPTURE AS PART OF MY ART PRACTICE INVOLES GOING TO mAMALAPURAM, A COASTAL TOWN IN TAMIL NADU, INDIA. the traditional sculpture community has been an inspiration and training locale for a diverse mixed media stone sculpture practice since 2004-2005 and 2017 to 2018. i HOPE TO VISIT AGAIN MAYBE IN 2020. The basic process involes the use of power tools like grinders but also hand tools. A sculpture community situated amidst pastoral scenes in a small village West of Mamalapuram explores my interactions with the sculptors and a selection of works I produced whist residing there for over a month.
