About the Work
"I portray daily life seen through the lens of conceptualised constructed environments. My work revolves around expressing facets of the human psyche marked by interactions with a specific constructed environment. These environments maybe natural, physical, virtual, social constructs of space, or a combination of these.
My multi-disciplinary practice includes installations (site specific, interactive), sculptures, painting, drawing, mixed media, video art, printing and digital art.
As an artist-curator I have worked with various artists within a multi-cultural environment. I perceive my curated projects as a medium and extension of my own artistic practice."
