Works on paper

 

Word Cards

Using watercolor as medium, each work is a small card sizing 2.5”x1.25”. These cards are non-representative auto drawings, ambiguous in-between forms moving away from what is graspable. They are meant to stand individually as well as collectives and when assembled into a grid, find different meaning in co-relation to other cards assembled.

 

Video

Scanned works on paper (Word Cards) and photos taken from random occasions in artist’s daily life are collaged with minimum video edit. The motivation is to create a trigger to look at without particular context other than fluctuating thoughts and undulating experience of eyes pulling different directions.

 

Sound

Sound recorded at the location of the show is made into rhythm via cut and paste editing and will be played back to the street where the original sound was recorded.

“Whether it’s painting, drawing or video, I see myprocess as channeling through play. It’s a continuous attempt at building a virtual helmet where quality and characteristic of the content work in a way where transformation of moment is possible. I am drawn to aesthetics that are ambiguous in nature; both beautiful and ugly; graphic and organic; dark and light etc. Blurring the line between judgment and feeling propels me and I try to get there by avoiding excessive polishing or concrete system."
