‘(Fine) Arts Dissertation Series’ looks at the dissertations submitted by artists as part of their master's study at the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, and was produced as part of Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual Publishing Grant (2021).

Summary: Reliable Copy #8- In Sculptor's Notebook, originally written in 1985, artist Pushpamala N. evaluates her artistic practice until that time. Centred largely around themes of adolescence and womanhood, her sculptures won a gold medal at the Sixth Triennale-India (1986) and the National Award (1984). While the sculptures take centre stage in this dissertation, there emerges a longing to move further towards performance, humour, and play-acting—themes that the artist would go on to develop over the following decades. Both an artist's statement and a prophecy, Sculptor's Notebook charts the motivations, struggles and desires of the artist's multimedium practice. Published here for the first time, Sculptor’s Notebook was written as part of Pushpamala N.’s master's degree in sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The complete facsimile of this dissertation is accompanied by a recent interview with the artist by Nihaal Faizel and Sarasija Subramanian.
