Much of artist Prajakta Potnis' work is inspired by everyday objects - the top shot of a grinder, and bulbs and electrical sockets - all of which have helped her create a surreal world. "I have always wanted my works to speak from the immediate space and journey from the personal to the political," she shares.

For this creative process to unfold, Potnis explains how an artist's studio becomes a storage, experimental and thinking space. Many of their future works occupy this space in their dormant phases. But for a studio - often a small 1BHK in Mumbai - to become all these other things can be a challenge.
