Farewell to the Goddess
16 x 16 in.
I love the meditative nature of creating patterns and collages using drawing, carving, stamping and mixing media. Most of the imagery is pieced together from my sun-drenched memories of my adolescent years spent in India.
This piece is about the celebration of the Goddess Durga. In Kolkata, every year in October, for 7 days, the city comes alive with hundreds of installation art pieces dedicated to the goddess depicting her in various creative ways. After seven days, the structures come down and the Durga idols are thrown into the river, symbolizing her return home, The city then goes back to its normal hustle and bustle. Months later the eroding idols can be found tossed aside.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
