I have had my hands in paint, pulp, pigment, ink and dye ever since I
can remember. I make paper and prints. I also work with fabric. My work
is my connection to the dynamic flow of energy and life – it bridges
my understanding of the space between the seen world and the felt world.
My work begins inside my head. An intensity of color, a reaction to light,
a sensation, a dream, a word, a mood or a memory can be the starting point.
The stirrings and restlessness to begin a work are physical – the
need, the itch to make a print, a collage, and this compulsion to create
begins the process in my studio. And so the dance drama unfolds…
The drama inside my head and the dance of the chosen medium- the paint,
print, pulp, thread ……
My work explores the underlying harmony in a seemingly disparate world
– rooted in India but thriving and growing in the foreign but familiar
world beyond. Of late I have been working with mixed media- using my prints,
paper that I have made, and fabric that I have dyed.
My images dance on paper - the dance can be quiet, tranquil, thoughtful,
serene, cerebral, obvious, pulsating or subtle. It is a play between movement
and magic. I am done when my work sings.
