Drawing Room: Why Deepak Kumar is inspired by Alex Davis’s art

Alex Davis uses soil from far-flung parts of India to create terrains that reflect both geography and memory. Take a close look

Alex Davis is as adept at sculpture as he is at industrial design. And much of his work, regardless of the medium, pays homage to India’s diverse topography. His work mirrors my own fascination with nature, memory, and identity.

Alex Davis’s work,The Pashmina Tribe, features mountain goats made of aluminium and steel.

In Ochumber Slopes 8, Davis uses soils of different textures to recreate a mountainous terrain.

Deepak Kumar finds that he’s inspired by Davis’s use of earthy materials.
