Hi Harsha, Ganesh
Earlier I shared something with Nilanjan on the subject.
Including the area above was intentional. It is to show some hint of environment in which such things occur. Without the wall it would have become an abstraction with connotation of art. here I deliberately avoided that and posted it as a document.
About the frame being a rebel. Well honestly i've been watching very closely how paintings are framed. At ravindra bharti univ kolkata I saw some of Tagore's paintings. They were framed off center unlike anything i had seen before. Since then I've thought about frames and their importance. How they hold the picture from spilling out, how sometimes they even limit a picture. something lurks in my mind that there has to be another way to to frame a picture. Framing this one by anchoring it to the left and not keeping any space there I tried to see whether the picture looks any different, whether it sort of grows in that side....this was also a poser to others to ponder, question and critique hard.
