My primary interest is in the idea of observation of place and how it gets created. This inspires me to engage in the process of image making through drawing, films, photographs, writing and music. My professional journey in the past ten years across forests, islands, cities and villages across the country has led me to question implicit notions of self and hierarchy embedded in creative-perceptive processes. In my practice, I am engaged in exploring methods and forms of recording, documenting, interpreting and understanding place in an artistic, collaborative and just manner.
