Sisters

My daughters used to play a game called "Phugdi", where you hold hands and go round and round. I also grew up playing this game with my friends and sister. The girls were done separately. The base was done by coating wax on styrofoam to give a nice texture. The girls were then welded to the base.

Bullock cart with the driver

Now that the bullock cart had bullocks, a driver was needed. So I did the driver to complete my bullock cart. I dedicated this sculpture to my dad, who embraced village life after retirement.

Bullock Cart continued

I took the class again second semester. I still had to make bullocks for the cart. My father suggested that you should do bullocks as well. Bullocks were not easy to make. I also ended up making solid bullocks. So they are really heavy. Also this semester was a trying time emotionally. My father was undergoing dialysis and he was not doing very well. In April he was really sick. I did show him the completed bullocks in wax. But he never got to see them in metal. In between my class I visited him in India during his last days. Somehow I managed to complete the bullocks in time by the end of the semester. The cart is in memory of my father whom I called "Baba".
