Statement


The medium is continuously applied on to the surface only to be annihilated at a later stage. Image and mark making are persistent for their dominance. Behind all this, form and representation are integrated with the disfigurement. This becomes beautiful. Due to this, the drawings blur the boundaries between the representation and the abstract. Using an entirely abstract exploration of explosives, time and space are navigated to reflect this paradox. The resulting effect is where the irrational of drawing becomes both melancholic and aesthetic.
