Traditionally, the fishermen used wooden boats, which were built by tying the planks with coir ropes. These boats are now being replaced by fiberglass boats, which are preferred because they are maintenance-free, lighter and consume less fuel. The artist buys old fishing boats and uses them for creating his sculptures. Every boat has memories; memories of fishing expeditions, nets loaded with fish pulled overboard, songs and conversations of the fisherfolk and so on. These memories in a way are incorporated in the artist’s works. The memories become a medium for sculpture.
