1. DIGESTIVE PLUMBING (2015): At entrance of the washroom (8ft x 12 ft)
This mural was painted at the newly inaugurated campus of Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Trivandrum in 2015. Painted on a wall between the girls and boys washroom, the idea was to work with the visual element of pipes shaped like the digestive system starting with the stomach and ending in the rectum.
IDEATION
2. CAFE CERRISE MURAL (2015): Nursery+Cafe (10ft x 8ft)
Cafe Cerrise, located opposite Ulsoor Lake in Bangalore, sits inside the Ambara Nursery surrounded by shrubs, potted plants and saplings, and a host of fauna that visit them. Responding to the site, I decided to juxtapose flower stalks with insects. (It was really gratifying to see bees and dragonflies coming to perch themselves on these painted flowers.)
INITIAL SKETCHES
Located inside an open air venue where public events take place, the mural shows hands activating the taps below them.
4. EAT ME (2018): Invited as a mural artist at the Irregulars Art Fair
Eat Me is an indoor mural that was painted for The Irregulars Art Fair* held in Delhi in February 2018. It is a visual that alludes to the magical cakes that Alice comes across during her adventures in the Wonderland in order to change her size.
*"The Irregulars Art Fair is an anti art fair for independent artists to foster a dialogue that transcends prescribed geographies, hierarchies,and markets - creating an alternative space for the irregular arts, for the weird and bizarre and to challenge the traditional cultural landscape of the art market."
