Artist Statement
My work happens in-between the act of spontaneity and preconceived
ideas and thoughts. My art process is triggered through responses and reactions to my
surrounding environment and is inspired by day-to-day life experiences.
The act of creation begins spontaneously, travels through mundane
experiences, memories, and meets with the idea that refers to the age we
are living in. Equally, my art also begins with an idea, metamorphoses
intuitively, and travels through moment-to-moment experience of creation which ultimately evolves into a dialogue within mediums and materials. This results in the becoming of its own unique being, thus detaching itself from “my creation” and instead, inviting the viewer to interact with and develop a sense of belonging with the creation or an idea.
