Above: Every Day is a protest. Below: Body Shaming, These are examples of the work of anonymous artist Princes Pea is from Gurugram, India whose tiny sculptures/ toys are wonderfully political and challenging and have steamed from Princess Peas big head performance art work.
This body of work by Princess Peais to inspire and empower, and also to revive and sustain the dying Indian craft of wood-turning, here made using local resources in the village of Etikoppaka.
Traditional woodcraft in this area is said to have been practiced since 300 BC, with the creation of decorative ornaments and images of deities. ‘The Pea Family’ of toys is helping to sustain this tradition.
