So now you know where did I vanish !
We are having a UAE Green Festival here.
I am associated with a beautiful online art gallery
called Kobo Art.
I got this opportunity
to be a part of this green drive in Dubai through Kobo Art.
It was great fun to create art pieces
from recycled material !!
I always always believe in the magical ways
of recycle and reuse !!
It saves you some pennies,
reflects your love for mother earth
and is soooo much fun !!
This is an installation which we have done at
the Heritage House, Bastakiya, Dubai.
Empty water bottles have been used
to show the depletion of natural resources
and the disastrous situation
which we may face if we do not choose to recycle and reuse.
Done on a hard board,
residue of coffee (which had been brewed and filtered)
has been used to give a lot of textures to this art piece called "Adventure"
The work is inspired by nature,landscapes and geology.
The textures give a three dimensional look
and the trails of overlapping colors
led me to quite an intuitive and magical "Adventure".
If you have visited me in the last few weeks,
you would be aware of
the tea bag illustrations I have been doing.

Now since the tea bags have been
recycled and reused
after satisfying the tea lover in me

it was a good idea indeed to display them as recycled art !!
My kettle, milk container
and that little garden chair are also on display.

"Around here"...as I named this work of mine
is a big scale work of art
done using a variety of recycled material.
The base is a Gypsum board
done using a variety of recycled material.
The base is a Gypsum board
which had been earlier used for a graffiti workshop
... broken in the middle
and has an irregular shape.
I used an empty pack of ferrero rocher chocolates
to represent a solar window.
A blue water bottle lid here
and the tiny water droplets show that we need to save water!
The face of my,Eco-Angel as I have named her,
has been done using an old burlap rice sack :)
and also the little birds singing the "Green songs" !!
Her neck shows photo film negatives and some round seals from spray paint cans !
The Eco-Angel has a message to spread...
"Around here...or there...together we can make a difference!"
By the way the tiara on her head is the beautiful beady portion of my chappals (shoes) :)
and her earring from a matchbox !!
Are you finding me crazy ?
Yes I did go crazy and quite adventurous while doing this art piece!!
So here is my final piece...what do you think ??
