Description: Substance I have used to make sculptures, is a polymer (a petrochemical product), I purposely used manmade substances/ plastic, its process of making is very harmful to nature so here I am kind of reversing the process by making natural forms by material which has polluted natural habitats.
There is an explanation to use these colours; these colours are from my memory, since long I have been seeing these colours in form of discharged effluents in water bodies as industrial waste. These colors play important role in my sculptures, earlier in June 2010 I started this project and during that time I was thinking to collect water samples and exhibit them in test tubes, but after some years idea dropped and it took references of life form in water bodies and which are lost from banks of creek, so color you see in my sculptures are documented effluents.
Also, my notion here is a way we buy plastic plants to decorate our homes, I made forms which are from environment made out of material which is ‘Good quality’ plastic and buyers will buy them as to decorate their homes.
