PORTABLE ART GALLERY

India is full of surprises...like seeing a 'room' walking past.  Yes, absolutely - constructed out of a wooden frame with perspex walls on three sides being carried by 4 art students.  Every now and then they would set it down and you could walk into the 'gallery' for a quick look.  The art consisted of small postcard size pictures of trees which had incorporated their metal restraints into their living form - the concept of overcoming obstacles, no matter how life threatening.  The students explained that people don't think about things enough - they look but don't see, so the idea was to bring the art gallery to the people.  As I chugged off in my rickshaw, we passed the art gallery slowly making its way up the main road !
