Vasant Kunj, New Delhi
My studio is a reflection of my artworks: A little of the space filled in, a lot of it left empty. This place houses my collection of traditional and folk art (points to a leather puppet from Andhra and a bhoota figure from Mangaluru on the far wall of the studio) which I have been collecting since childhood. These artworks inspire me and appear in my work too. A lot of times, I have an idea and can’t grasp it physically. But once I’ve chosen a medium to express it and start working at it, there’s always a point where I lose myself and an energy takes over; and with it, this sense of being just a medium.
