The Locksmith Stall

Screen print on Somerset paper

37cm x 24cm

Part of my Indian series looking at the colour and chaos of Indian street markets. This was a stall where, if you had a padlock, but no key, the man would make you a key; and conversely, he'd make a padlock if you had a key but nothing to use it with. It was such a great example of how absolutely everything is used and reused in India.
