The humble and versatile Bamboo has always played an integral role in our culture. The Bamboo is used for anything from building housing, cooking as an ingredient and even for handicrafts which are ultimately used for decorative purposes. Our artist who has taken the roots of the bamboo and used his wood carving skills to give it a unique twist incorporating the little hair-like shoots that accompany the roots of a Bamboo. What could easily have been discarded as waste, he has turned into either the hair or beard of the bust that he carves on the main stump of the root.
Bamboo roots are different in their forms, either in size or in structure. Each root is suitable for carving according to its natural structure. It is the brainstorming that takes time.
