About The Artwork

The Indian landscape is crowded with holy places. There are seven sacred rivers, including the Ganges. On its banks is Varanasi, one of seven holy cities, which itself is guarded by 56 shrines to Ganesha, the popular elephant-headed god. The body of Sati, a goddess, is said to be scattered at 108 sites throughout India. The numbers and combinations are endless. Many of these pilgrimages have been around for centuries. India is more than a map, it’s a three-dimensional sacred landscape, linked by its story lines. My intension with this image is to depict the gods protecting the land. Thus by combining the gods and goddesses through an intensive layering process combined with the indian landscape I achieve this. Medium: Mixed Media (Palm Leave etching, Drawing, Photograph printed on acetate.)
