150 Natals

Indo-Portuguese houses are an important part of Goan cultural ethos. Most houses were constructed in the second half of the 19th century. The houses received a fresh coat of lime based paint before christmas (natal in Portuguese). The artist collected pieces of plaster from the walls from a 150 years old house. He realised that the house was painted in different colours every 30 years or so. He carved out the plaster to reveal the different colours.
