Had yesterday off as was tired from the heat, been fairly constant low-mid 30’s and humid so spent the day at Nilaya Hermitage up in the hills, http://nilaya.com.

In early as refreshed and ready for a 6 day slog as I have to have work ready for when they take the current photographic show down. With so many staff there’s a quick turn around.

I’ve finalised 6 small works which are being backed with hardboard and fixed with hangers. Still have some work to do on them but the main structure is ready. I’ve also pretty much finished two rice forms which will also be glued down onto hardboard so hangers can be attached, or I may use Velcro (I have to think about transport home for these pieces). Some will be left in Goa to fill Subodh’s many venues.

I’ve decided to use a circular canvas for the end wall as there’s a running theme of circular work here at MOG so why not join in.

We had rain last night which has really fresh-end everything up, so glad to be back in the studio. I was greeted by Tanvi and handed some Kheer to try, a kind of Indian pudding, delicious. The MOG staff have been so helpful and welcoming. Meet them here:

Let me know how you are all getting on with what you are producing.
