Margot Lovejoy, Introduction: "Travelling through South India all the way from Madras to Tamil Nadu to Kerala in 1995, I passed every day powerful invocations. They beckoned, they were accessible; they demanded I enter their spiritual environments to rest, to meditate. The works were all so intense in form and color they could not be resisted or overlooked. Each had a compelling quality of personal expression which seemed to transform these humble roadside structures into powerful works of art. I found myself so fascinated that I kept stopping the car and speaking to families who created them, asking permission to photograph their constructions."
