Children like to collect shells on the beach. The artist has often collected thousands of shells with the help of children. He calls it “harvesting the beach”. Sometimes he collects mussel shells from the fish market. In Goa mussel shells are green on one side, and silvery white on the other. He plants the shells in different compositions on the sand, adding various narratives to his works. One of his favourite works with shells is creating the impression of the ocean with mussel shells. In these works, the ocean is the inspiration, the theme, the medium, as well as the canvas (it is medium because the shells are offered to the artist by the ocean). Subodh has planted mussel shells on many shores of the world, including Korea, Denmark, Germany, Australia and the Gulf countries. He carries some shells from India to other shores.
