Adrift.

Done in water colors and Lumograph. This is a muslim girl of malabar with her girl child waiting for her arab 'mapila'. There are many unfortunate girls like her among this community-forced to marry old,arabs who come down to Kerala coast to do bussiness or just for fun.The poor girls who are not even literate have no other way to live but'marry' these men -their own mothers being women who were divorced or widowed and living in utter poverty. These poor girls are married off and abandoned like their own mothers to live once again their mothers lives!

The Next Logical Step (after the auction houses)

This is very interesting-from The Gaurdian Arts Blog. The news that investors are seeking to speculate on the art market following the creation of a new art hedge fund, betting on an art movement or an individual artist's rise in value without actually buying a painting, certainly appears to be an ominous idea. What exactly would it be they are planning to speculate on? Would Tracey Emin's stock go up if she announced she was pregnant, her art being so inextricably linked to that predicament? Would Grayson Perry's go down if he gave up drag?
