My work uses cardboard, tin cans plastics and cardboard tubes usually destined for the waste bin. The fragile resemblances that I produce with their torn, folded and glued sections are crude, insubstantial, spray painted copies, three-dimensional jigsaws, connected and disconnected fragments of machines displayed as museum artefacts. They fit into...

My practice is about exploring these ideas, and probing for the ingredients which caused them to become rooted in my imagination. My practice is defined by experimentation, and I am more interested in...

The lines of the composition are brought to the fore as bold lines criss-crossing the plane bouncing off the edges in defined trajectories. In the recent work masking tape is employed to create crisp graphic aesthetic. Representation is eschewed in favour of a...

Artist Statement “I am a black box, an abstract device evolved to hide the complexities within. Given the appropriate stimulus, I can be triggered to display a transient pop-up model of my inner self and disclose a little of what would otherwise remain secret.
