Three men work on a clay or plaster sculpture in a rough corrugated-metal shed with cardboard and debris around them. The man on the left in a grey shirt and orange shorts presses his hands into a large sculpted torso lying on a sack. A younger man in a white shirt and green-and-gold cloth sits behind, bent over the piece. On the right, an older man in a striped blue shirt and maroon lungi smooths a copper-coloured sheet draped across the work. Blue plastic drum and scattered packaging sit at the edges.2013-06-23Two men sit barefoot on bare ground working on a metal sculpture. The man on the left wears a white shirt and light blue jeans and uses a chisel-like tool on the metal. The man on the right wears a teal-grey shirt, a mustard-yellow dhoti with yellow border, and a red thread on his wrist, holding a hammer. Behind them sit sacks, copper-coloured pots and other tools on the dusty ground.
