To the sound of hip hop from the students of Caulfield Park Community Centre, Chandraguptha Thenuwara and David Ray are working on pieces for the Common Goods exhibition. Thenu is interested in taking David's tiles and camouflage into the third dimension. One very practical benefit from Thenu's residency is to discover a pigment for creating a bright yellow on ceramic glaze. The yellows in his clay barrels fired in Colombo have tended to burn out. So yellow becomes an Australian gift to Sri Lanka. Thenu was also very pleased to find a local Sri Lankan restaurant, Gedera, meaning welcome.
