Working with intangible ideas around contemporary issues has been my motivating force. Reading the news about different developments taking place around the world has turned me into a chronicler of our time. How to present these ideas in an abstract vocabulary of form, line, color and texture is the quest. These are the challenges and creative instinct that intrigue me most.

In the past two years I’ve been working on three series simultaneously that reflect the zeitgeists of our time. They include Cantilevered, The Weight and Afro Sentinels. With advancements in Technology, the pervasive use of social media, Donald Trump  and social injustices seen around the world there is much to respond to. All of this while balancing responsibilities to family, our jobs and friends. Welcome to the Twenty-First Century. This lays heavy on us, figuratively acting as a great weight on our shoulders, hence the title, “The Weight”.
