The Kailasa temple in Maharashtra India is a rock cut temple (one of many) and this one in particular is carved out of one single rockspace. It is in fact the largest rock cut (a whole Indian style) one out of the thirty-four in Ellora Caves -Just the grandeur, skill, and size of all this is awing.

Peak of Indian rock cut architecture.

Old Chinese houses are an inexhaustible creative space in terms of wooden interiors. To me, something alike is associated with childhood memories of a countryside house in Zhejiang.

Experimenting with carving, shells and resin inspired by Piranesi. The colour turned out too dark, and I'll need a uv resin for these to avoid bubbling, but I liked making it.
