Shyamala’s project
Shyamala constructed a bamboo structure tied together with coarse jute rope that pushed forward her preoccupation with structures and diagrams rooted in a genre of Cholamandal Art but brought into a new aspect of sculpture. This ambitious eight pronged grid originating from an octagon was designed to float in the central pond, but floated half in and half out having become too heavy, and with perhaps too little water in the pond.
