dready art padmini taxi with cow …
there are many ideas floating around this image …
i’d seen a documentary about the demise of the iconic mumbai taxis; new laws in india doing away with old cyar, and the colour and the verve of mumbai struck a nerve …
then the other day at dinner, a street food inspired meal, I was reminded of the bbc travel show’s about street food in mumbai … and at the same time two things happened, shirley was telling me about her trip to mumbai, and i was looking at the dready art of cars on the wall …
so inspiration was driving me toward it …
and i wanted a woman in the taxi, to flout tradition … to talk about the fear that women have in taking taxis alone (in india and elsewhere) …
anyhow, nuff said … i liked the idea …
Peace!
