I am curious about the shape that world events are taking, especially with the opening up of India’s economy. I narrow my concerns down to the micro level communities that we exist in, in our environments.

I am fascinated by the workings of myths and observing the way in which large numbers of populations structure their lives accepting them as absolute truths. I try to look under the skin of these beliefs, and predictably, a lot of the time come up with, according to me, ridiculous bases or ‘sacrilegious’ interpretations. In George and the Dragon, I am wondering what the hero secured? What was evil? Was the Dragon a Syrian arab or heathen or both? I see George Bush and Osama bin Laden becoming mythical monsters in the distant future.

I behave like a child where materials are concerned. When I see something that has possibilities, my mind starts working on how I can bring it to shape and form. Fortunately, I am not a spontaneous painter/sculptor. I let my impulse grow into an obsession and then make it physical. The results bring about new relationships with these elements. I don’t have the classical sensibility of being faithful to one medium. Like an ever flowing river, I hope technology will carry on inventing new materials, and I will have reason to be in a perpetual state of discovery and wonderment.
