Artist Statement

My works deploys a language of visual force across disciplines, including sculpture, painting, installation, collage, poetry, and photography.

My long-standing interest in Eastern philosophy (namely Advaita Vedanta), cosmology, and the environment has led to a quasi Gesamtkunstwerk practice in which the artwork is the result of deep meditation on the human relationship to all the three disciples. These themes in my work are expressed using poetic language to describe how the body/mind experience relates to our immediate environment and the wider cosmos.
My research has led me to collaborate with scientists and environmentalists. I have developed several installation works often including an interactive process, conveying the urgency of the continuing environmental destruction. Despite the mythology of 'more is better' becoming slowly defunct, we are still very much tied to the growth concept as a solution to all socioeconomic dilemmas.

This inquiry tries to organise the ever-expanding inflation of images, information, and the material/stuff, through collage, drawing, and sometimes three-dimensional objects, bringing new meaning to the lack of coherence. The rearrangement of discarded materials proposes new alliances in which the object is no longer separate from the body but part of a larger continued space. A sort of viscous mesh in which the parts become bigger and as zoetic as the whole.

We may have mastered the superficial space of our immediate environment but remain oblivious to the intimacy of its complexities. The question continually being asked is of perceived reality and the meanings of its materiality and nature.

I am concerned with the possibilities of where human perception and experience really transpire and how we can lay to rest, many of the mythologies created by minds trapped in -isms, including the technologically-led capitalist consumer society of today.
