“Terms of cultural engagement, whether antagonistic or affiliative, are produced performatively. The representation of difference must not be hastily read as the reflection of pre-given ethnic or cultural traits set in the fixed tablet of tradition. The social articulation of difference, from the minority perspective, is a complex, on-going negotiation that seeks to authorize cultural hybridities that emerge in moments of historical transformation.”

TOPOGRAPHY OF GENESIS
'Topography of Genesis' explores the idea of evolution of Life to identify the various possibilities of engaging with the dynamics of 'Form' in the process of creation. As an artist I believe that every form has an ability to expand into infinite 'marks' that connects every other form that exists within and beyond our human perceptions. The aspect of imagining the 'infinite' and connecting to it in metaphorical sense using the medium of painting is something that fascinates me.
Elements of Life that have a sense of connection to the personal in relation to all that exists is juxtaposed and portrayed using mark making processes in the form of symbols in my work. Sensory perceptions and their associated tactility are explored in terms of medium and print making techniques.
Some of these paintings are done at the Henry Luce III Arts and Religion Centre, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington DC, USA. These works were parallely exhibited in Tamarind Gallery in New York in Dec 2007. While some of these are done here in New Zealand and the rest while I was in North East Africa.
