----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Apologies - I tried sending this direct but it bounced back. * * * * * I recently saw some work by an Indian artist, Sheela Gowda, that was made of cow dung. This was in the catalog for the "Traditions/Tensions: Contemporary Art in Asia" show that was in New York recently.

Has anyone got some ideas? I have tried all the known databases e.g. Art Index, ArtBibsModern, ASTI, Avery, and other building databases. Any leads would be much appreciatated!
