Gajavadana

ಕ್ರಿ,ಶ 2010 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಗಾಜಿನ ಬಾಟಲಿಯೊಳಗೆ
ಸಿಮೆಂಟನ್ನು ತುಂಬಿ ಅದುಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗುವ ಅವಧಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಗಣೇಶನ ವಿಗ್ರಹ ಗಳನ್ನುರಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಮೇಣದಲ್ಲಿ  ರಚಿಸಿದಹಾಗೆ ಕಲಾವಕಾಶ ಇರುವದಿಲ್ಲ
ಬರಿ ಸಿಮೆಂಟ್ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬಳಸಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಸಿಮೆಂಟನ್ನ ನೀರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆರೆಸಿ ಹದ ಗೊಳಿಸಿ ಬಾಟಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬಿದ ತಕ್ಷಣ  ಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ
ಸುಮಾರು 4ರಿಂದ5 ಘಂಟೆಗಳಕಾಲ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಲು ಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಇನ್ನೂ ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಗಟ್ಟಿ ಯಾಗುವ ಮೊದಲೇ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಸಮಯದೊಳಗೆ ಆಕ್ರುತಿಯನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.ತಡಮಾಡಿದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಮೆಂಟ್ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಏನು ಮಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯ್ವಿಲ್ಲದಂತಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Wax sculptur in bottle

I am Shreenath. N. Shejwadkar from Holalu village, Huvina Hadagali taluk, Bellary dist of Karnataka state. INDIA.
My father is Nagesh. Ramachandra. Shejwadkar (Goldsmit). At present I am running a medical shop in Davangere.
I had not prepared any sculpture at any time. I have seen in Tv and read in paper, regarding sculptures made by many people, but I wanted to do something different. Which nobody had done before . That’s way I choosed this work.

I started this efforts from feb 2005. Initially I melted the crude wax which is available in the market and filled in to a clean dry bottle and allowed it to cool. Then started carving the lord Ganesha with the help of the iron sticks of bycycal wheel which I prepared myself to needed shape and fixed handle of used tooth brush for comfort to hold
In the beginning I used single colour, then I tried with different colour. As it was stepwise filling and needed more time to kool down the previous filling, before filling the next colour it took almost double the time which is needed to fill with single coloure
Like that I used up to four coloursAs I am suffering from congenital sensory motor neuropathy it was very difficult for me to hold the sticks and do carving . many times I have broken bottles while cleaning them, that is at the final stage. still I never lost my patience to do it. .My effort and confidence made me to complete 113 sculptures
Earlier I took one to two weeks to compete one sculpture ultimately my speed went up to one sculpture per day. Not a single sculpture looks alike each one is in different shape and colour . I carved not only in bottles also in waste electric bulbs and a small TVtube .to carve in TV tube I happened to take the help of the mirror, I held the wax filled TV tube in front of the mirror and I carved from back side while watching in the mirror.
Like this I prepared 113 sculptures and 105 among them I donated to MANJSHA MUSEUM OF DHARMASTHALA on 28th of January 2007
