Souvenirs

If the adorable Ganesha sculpture that adorns the entrance to our workshop is anything to go by, we are slowly and steadily moving towards becoming a multi-disciplinary office. After the first one for us, as a small thought in the office, we decided that each project of ours should have a little handmade souvenir. The first of them is for a project of ours in Basavanagudi. 

Nikhil started the process off with several ideas in the form of sketches and with Sai's inputs and guidance he ended up refining them to one solid ideation. The soap prototype was the next step and before we knew it, he had picked out a stone for the sculpture to materialise in. As he kept chipping off the material, slowly another interesting form of Ganesha began to emerge. After last time's experience, he was much faster with this one. The 'what to do, what not to do' was clearer to him and evident in the fact that he took significantly lesser time but the end product was just as good if not better.  
We intend to take this forward - Sculpture becoming something we do as part of Sandarbh. When I initially started talking about the idea of sculpting and how we were going to approach it, but now that we have reached this point, I can't keep myself from wondering "What Next?"
