A Spike Of Rice

Artist – Trupti Patel

The work is a reference to an identification with the land and its relationship with the local region. It is a columnar form representing a spike of rice rising from the ground. Symbolically, the stone chosen is an attempt to reference the translucent white of the rice grain. The artist builds an interesting inlay technique using ash and soil collected from the region the sculpture is created in, imparting a sense of bonding.
