Artist's statement

My works are experimental in nature and I like to experiment with varied mediums.

I am constantly searching for newness through wandering and observing. the wandering of the physical being must be accompanied by the wandering of the gaze. As the gaze settles on something a dialogue is initiated that may reveal new insights into the object, its surroundings as well as inner self of the observer.

I take elements from my surroundings and place them in a tactile space. My artwork then becomes an abstraction for the interplay of an entity and its context. I create a textured space often with lines and marks that symbolise the infinite casual connections that make-up the microcosm of life. it is quite like interlaced threads that render a fabric.

Being from a family of weavers, the handloom workers, thread, fabric and weave are an integral part of my compositions.

"Rude spirits of the seething outer strife,

Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,

Deem if you list, such hours a waste of life,

Empty of all delight! "

- Lewis Caroll.

"All in the golden afternoon

Full leisurely we glide;

For both our oars, with little skill,

By little arms are plied,

While little hands make vain pretense

Our wanderings to guide..."

Ever drifting down the stream --

Lingering in the golden dream..."

May charm the eye: yet they shall die,

Shall die and pass away..."
