We were perplexed by the complex contours of human existence around scattered thoughts. It speculates the contrary, deciphers the derogatory, ponders the unpredictable, and summarizes the limitless unsuccessfully. Contradicted by the erratic experiences of the present societal scenario, human thought is entangled infinitely around irregular and undesignated variables. The challenge to depict this art project was an experiment to determine the extent of human thought restricted by space and yet sculpted in shape with an unbounded material exhibiting the intricacies of the malleable and ductile qualities of human thought artistically. Terracotta has its own expression and character which can be used playfully with its feelings and sophistication. Moreover, it precedes all other materials used in human history to create art, craft, and daily use items. Its earthly appeal transcends human thought, working with it with our hands made us feel in the lap of mother nature. Chillums have enchanted us for far too long. Infamously associated with the untold rituals, fascinations, and experiences of the Sanyasi sadhus on religious pilgrimage and marijuana, the Chillums demand a mystique that perplexes the thought contours. We have made this installation to deliberately unsettle the disclosed and the anguished qualities of thought existence. In our artistic endeavors, malfunction upsets the normative ease and ignorance of the daily ritual of making art. Disruption is applied to formal concerns of object making and ways of distressing materials to reach a decision and understanding for a want of a hypothesis… a narrative in the mind. Our inspiration to experiment with the thoughts in this installation, was perhaps, outside of empirical meat space. Perplexed Contours are just a manifestation of our extended thoughts and their investigations.
