I create intricately detailed, tactile sculptures which invite playful audience interaction. I work with a range of materials rooted in Indian traditions as well as found items to create structure. Raised in the UK surrounded by a large Indian community, I have always been drawn to the aesthetics and ritualistic elements of traditional ceremonies. My practice is an opportunity to connect with these visceral aspects of my heritage and explore the joys and challenges of growing up as a woman between cultures.

I works intuitively, creating organic shapes with materials such as Sari fabric, bells, glass beads, old clothes, steel, and ceramic beans. Texture is woven throughout my sculptures with delicate folds of fabric and elaborate bead work. I often create site-specific pieces, taking my cue from the environment that will house the work.

Repetition and layering play a central role in my sculptures, mirroring natural forms found in the plant and animal worlds. The recurrent forms and vibrant tones are evocative of many elements seen in nature, such as biodiversity, symbiosis and mutation. The works suggest that these diverse aspects of the natural world could inspire humans to collaborate more harmoniously and create more flexible divides.

My optimistic works attempt to find an empowered space that can encompass all aspects of my life. I create art as a way of holding all elements of myself and bringing together seemingly conflicting views. Since becoming a mother to twin girls in 2020, I have an even stronger drive to create an inspiring example, challenging what it means to be a second-generation British Indian woman. I wants to question rigid ideas of ethnic identity through a fluid and open-minded exploration of my own experience.  I see my practice as having a spiritual aspect to it, finding means of connection between people, animals and the environment.
