Pointing Method of Stone Carving in Jaipur, Rajasthan
Artist and Lecturer, College of Art, Under NCT, Delhi Govt, Delhi University, New Delhi.
The grant helped me to work on this subject - a project that I had dreamt of doing but could not take forward because of monetary problems. It helped me to come to know about a traditional method of carving which is almost dying out. It has both helped my creative work as a sculptor and given me knowledge that I can pass on to my students so that they can use it in their work. I have also discussed the procedures with colleagues who work on portraiture.
