Visual Artist and Graphic Designer

My creative practice lies at the intersection of visual art & design, this involves working in sequential narratives with drawing, video-animation, image-making, book-making and graphic design. I am interested in enquiring what exists at the cusp of nature and civilisation, through mundane observations. I am fascinated by the structural designs found in the natural world and how humans interact with those structures. For example, I have been observing through drawing and photography the tiniest details in the motion of the flight of birds, architecture of their nests, center of gravity in a bush of long grass, trails left by ducks swimming in water, skeleton of a dead animal, footprints left by pigeons on wet floor, contours of different leaves, textures on a coral I picked up from a beach and recently the closing up of a found pine cone when wet. I am drawn towards how the wired electrical networks run through the network of trees, airplanes that are inspired from the aerodynamics of bird-flight, a circular mesh or scaffold built to support a standing tree etc.

With a concern for visual literacy in early education, I have been designing and visualising children’s books since a few years. This engagement feeds into my artistic practice and vice-versa.
