The world that we place ourselves central to becomes a tapestry patterned by incidents and histories that demand our participation willingly or otherwise. As artists we often become the chroniclers of larger narratives that hold both the particularity of our lives as well as a wider world of information. My work is informed by the personal politics that governs my life and employs the use of metaphor and allegory to formulate its content. In many instances the subject of a work of art invokes nuanced experiences from the worlds we inhabit.
The narratives in my works are never direct stories but are territories that hold parables through which meanings are inferred. The forms that I create or rephrase becomes a personalized visual lexicon, invested with specific symbology, that over time, maps the preoccupations and arguments that constitute the ideological premise of my identity.”
