2014-2015 Fulbright-Nehru Project
During my time in Kolkata, India as a Fulbright-Nehru Scholar, I observed and documented the unfired clay sculptural traditions of the artists of Kumartuli, who create works such as the figurative idols used in the Durga Puja celebrations. Concurrently, and inspired by my research, I developed two temporary, collaborative sculpture projects in which viewer participation was integral to the completion of the projects. My Fulbright grant blog celebrates this fantastic opportunity to live, work and learn in India.
