Pooja Pawaskar

“Working with wood and plaster — materials that challenge, resist, and guide me — I approach my process with surrender. I begin with intention, but allow the material’s innate character to shape the outcome.

Knots, cracks, and grain patterns in wood, along with the fluid unpredictability of plaster, become integral to the work, embodying resilience, transformation, and presence. I honour the histories embedded within reclaimed wood and the raw tactility of plaster, treating each piece as a collaboration rather than a construction.”
