Enjoying The Park

There are hundreds of sculptures in the park, all made of cement. The red faced ones
have brick dust added to the cement mixture. The white ones have chalk dust added. They are
embellished with bits and pieces of tiles, bracelets and whatever other bits of discarded items are found around.

An example of a sculptue made with other found objects: discarded tea cups, plates, etc.

The frames of these sculptures are discarded bicycle frames. 

This is just one of hundreds of animals in one part of the park- notice the teeth!
Love the monkeys - the inside starts with construction rebar that is bent and then covered
with rags sometimes, and sometimes cement directly.
Notice the different color of the faces and the bodies.
The eyes
are shells.

This is a large amphitheater with a pool that is totally adorned with tile mosaic. It sits behind our house
and is unfortunately, closed to the public and not used. 
These are my favorite sculptures - they used fragments of thin glass bracelets and notice they are
designed as sarees.

Typical doorway through the park that is about 4.5' high. You have to bend down each doorway
in a sign of humility to get through. Notice the metal doors that are sometimes locked and
sometimes open, making gettting home a maze or worse, a nightmare.

Namaste,
