My works survive in the hinterland of myth and reality.
The personification of myth from everyday, in the contemporary context. These works are my investigation of the known- within the great metaphor of alchemy there are no answers and no definite end, but the journey and process of experience of our existence. This attempt is a tiny gesture in the universe, an aesthetic involment in the process of understanding my reality as an individual, a citizen of a country and part of the lager global imagination called “Our Universe”.
These works are sculptural, they are objects layered by time, history and the process of transformation. They map my own trajectory as an individual in a search of locating myself from my ancestory to belonging to the nation state. Here I gather together medals that embellish events in a life of a nation, with a history of symbols that construct nationalism, patriotism and iconography of the scared and secular. They overlap like a palimpsest of the self existing in the construction of a nation that oscillates within a wisdom of ‘ ahimsa’ and the gloom of a global catastrophy of greed. |
