Growing up uprooted at the confluence of various cultures and modes of thinking, I create paintings, sculptures and installations in which the traditional, the crafts, the industrial and scientific commingle, reflecting a yearning to harmonize disparate cultural, ideological and aesthetic heritages. I draw from personal experiences and philosophical, literary and scientific musings. Through materiality, I explore concepts of transformation, identity, perception, affect, cosmology, knowledge, and meaning.
My work is a meditation on forces; how they are perceived, inferred, embodied, defined, transformed and transformative. I examine their interplay at the nexus of the natural, the human-made and the primordial.
I am completing an MFA (Cornell University) in visual arts after having earned a PhD in Chemistry (McGill University).
