Exhibit 1

My MA project at the moment, focuses on the museum
space, mainly that of the British Museum.

I find the museum as a giant, in the realm of
open source learning. It is a cross-section of a library,
a classroom and a park. Also, the fact that the
knowledge base is created from retrospection
or reverie. I find the interaction between the visitor
and the exhibit fascinating and how would that space
react if we removed the formal boundaries between the two.

"you came into this world as Goddess Lakshmi"

From the conversations with my father which I have posted
below, I am beginning to illustrate bits of that.


















The initial bit of research involved looking at Aindri, and
the other matrikas (mother goddesses) in Indian folkart.

I was playing around with different media, for me it was
not important to illustrate her.

I am interested in why some deities have so many arms
and eyes? The reason is, I think (which is also used in
video gaming structure) that each deity is assembled
from other deities, their attributes, just like how you
would create an Avatar from a library of attributes.

It's fascinating because we are not looking at
a character, but a family tree!

I want to see if I can use this concept ( the many arms, etc)
in my character design to re-interpret:
