Pramukh Greens, Surat Craft used: Gond from Madhya Pradesh Idea was to juxtapose movements in two different planes, the line would vary in thickness vertically and the birds will be dynamic The lines were meant to be in progressive rhythm, but an on-site call was taken to go random, to create an element of interest
