I paint. I sculpt. I create temples. I create deities. I use dots as well as other serial patterns to decorate these environments and give these non-physical entities a physicality .My repetition is born out of anxiety. Both a blessing and a curse. Making thousands of non mechanical dots is both soothing and purposeful for me. When the patterns are on a canvas the colors are made up of stories and songs. When a deity is decorated they have their own story. Color to me is more than a visual experience. It is a smell, taste and numbers at times. The use of colors in my work or the choice to omit them at times is all part of creating a modern mythology. |
