DELHI TV SHOW PRESENTS Phani Basu

                                                                                                                                                        P  2  
       me too  the   new  and  interesting discovery  i.e  findinding  life and expression  even  among              the dead  or waste  wood  or  even  wild  wood  in fire-wood shops was  an  exciting pleasure for        me .Q
 Q:  do  you think  that any  particular  type  odf waste  wood  would help  you  more  :  like  soft
        wood, hard wood or  even  drifit  wood?
Ans  :  I  have  not  goven much  thought  to  this  particularity    and drift  wood  are  but  mountain-
       stream- wood  and ever  away  from my  reach .To  me     durability   is  not the  big  criterion .
      I am   a  poet  and  always  tried  to  instill    poetic  vision  in  any  other  field  with my  mode  of       living . In more  abstract  language , suppose  the  swimming   fragrance  of  a  flower , - jesmine !       How  fragile  it  is ! Yet  I  would  be  very  proud  to  hold   it  even for a a  few  moment  within       me.
Q ;  you must  have  moved far  and  wide  to  find  out these  Art pieces ?
Ans :  No  !  not  much , I  had  neither  scope  and by   profession. I  was  mostly bound  in  Delhi  by       the  demand  of  my  job and  almost  80%   of Art -pieces  you  see  here,  were  found  in  and           around    in  Delhi  itself .
Q :  when  you  found  these  waste   or mother-wood  pieces , which  method you applied  to  put             your  feeling  in them  ?
Ans :  May  I  answer  this  in my  own  way ! first  at the  root  , I  was  a poet ,and  though  I  was               not a  trained   or  Art -school-product , I  had  to  experiment  and  device  my  own  way  , f               feeling  nervous .Yet , Poetry  was  the   Root-seed  of  my endeavor ,
          So , when  I   found a  piece   any  here  (  even once  in  a  drain ) I  rescued  and lifted  it  up ,           brought home   dried  it  over  tome  ten   started  trimming it ,  chipping it  even  assaulting  it             the  end  I  wanted  to  see  it  the  way  I  dreamt: Rejacted one  part , broke  another, even                   distorted  some other   part   to  bring  the  expression on  the  surface that  -I  found  hidden                 beneath .
Q : Don't   you  some  times   find  some  pieces    and  preserve  them as  it   seem  incomplete ?
ANS :  In that   case,      I  would  not be  a  creative  artist  but  only a  Art  -collector.
