Exhibition Final Set-up Process 2

 

Set-up as a whole

Every prayer starts with a Ganesha idol; therefore Ganesha is placed to encircle himself with the pieces I have created and also to bless the environment of the surroundings. Marigolds are scattered around the display. A marigold garland is placed around the bowl, as in most prayers, marigolds are arranged around the tray or offered during prayers to the God statues.

Exhibition Final Set-up process 1

 

an idea of the final Set-up: Attempt 1 FV

This was just a trial run of what the pieces would look like when placed on pink tissue paper, inside an Indian-styled bowl made of woven basket material, covered with a red cloth with golden dots. A woven scarf surrounds the bowl, serving as the background layout for the design as a whole, featuring golden and red colours with peacock feather designs.
