My artwork is generally abstract and is displayed on canvas and paper.

My present work (2010) has taken a drastic u-turn. After losing my sister recently, my grief led me to explore the overwhelming yet futile desire to reanimate a loved one lost to suicide – not even to have them here with us again, but to rewind and replay their death giving them an agreeable end – thus taking away the affliction that led them to choose their final frame –
but the reality just won’t budge.

My 2008 - 09 work aimed to ‘remystify’ – taking away the sharp edges leaving us with clarity of
emotions – allowing the work to resonate, pulse, ooze and emote. When an object becomes recognisable, it becomes noisy. The who, what, when and whys start to appear. I strip the top
layer of questions, judgements, pigeon holes, titles, and assumptions. The work becomes
what the viewer needs it to be.

2006 - Living in London - speaks for itself.

The techniques involved include capturing the image photographically and drawing on
and modifying the image using an image editor.
