An Indian visual artist based in London, I am a storyteller using ceramic-mixed media sculpture and collage on paper.

​

The foundation of my work is rooted in a celebration of traditional materials, processes, and the vibrant energy of pattern-making. Drawing from my Indian heritage and the experience of living in diaspora, I create visual narratives that intertwine familiar imagery with hidden stories, inviting curiosity and reflection. My ceramic practice is based at the century-old heritage brickworks of HG Matthews in rural Buckinghamshire, where I explore the boundaries of traditional ceramics by experimenting with scale and form. Using hand-coiling and age-old techniques such as coloured slip-inlay and sgraffito, I shape flowing forms with richly detailed monochrome surfaces, embodying a ceramic sensibility that prioritises both detail and grandeur.

This same sensibility extends into my oversized works on paper. Merging traditional drawing with contemporary collage, I work with inks, found print, and wool ordinary materials that, like clay, expand in scale as the narrative unfolds. These pieces are intricate, layered in both meaning and form, and imbued with patterns and symbolism that are deeply rooted in my Indian heritage. The small details of everyday life captivate me, and it is these memories that colour my visual canvas, resulting in a series of unusual forms that reflect broader socio-political themes.

Empowered by my Asian roots, my practice thrives on blending the boundaries between East and West, creating a rich, contemporary vocabulary that draws on ancient haptic memory and traditional visual languages. My work, born from an act of collecting stories, grapples with themes of identity, personal freedom, faith, mental well-being, and social dialogue. In recent years, my focus has shifted from the autobiographical to that of a chronicler—capturing the micro-moments of human experience and the nuances of dialogue, whether internal or between individuals.
