MAKING LIVING PLACES

Exploring the processes of bowl making, line drawings and study of things. A journey to try and enhance an abandoned plot of land opposite to a locally popular small temple by opening up the site to the public by introducing a seating area and a small community kitchen and hall which can be used by the devotees of the temple and the general public. Also a house for the care taker of the site. The existing unwelcoming site with tall walls open up to a seating and kitchen surrounded by an orchard and flower garden, an offering to the public.
