Since this is such an exclusive show, the gallery thought the ceramists would like to share their experience on participating with the Gallery:
Shampa Shah: “With asymmetry ingrained in it, the form of the kettle has continued to lure the potters of all times. For me, a kettle stands for pouring - giving. And the non-violent power of a flower too lies in pouring out its fragrance to one and all.”
Jyotsana Bhatt: “I have always enjoyed working on thematic Ceramic Shows; the "Flower Power" has also been a fun project.”
Anjani Khanna: “I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, the younger by six years, of two siblings. As a result I was exposed to the Beatles, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, the Doors, and Bob Dylan amongst others at a very young age. Through my growing years, mother would refer to me as a lotus eater.”
Nehal Rachh Nandi: “When asked to work along the theme of ‘flower power’, the few things that came to my mind were – love, peace, softness, joy and protection. By being gentle and loving one can over overcome the largest battles in the world.”
Rutvij Mistry: "Flower Power Kettle Show to me is a unique idea where only Kettles will be exhibited in the show made by various artists. I took this as an opportunity to explore with unique forms which could be functional or non-functional sculptural.”
