My vision as an artist is to constantly challenge the self and the external world, creating a dialogue that highlights social construction. My works have interrogated the ideas of normativity that are attached to the domestic ideology, with visual representations exploring the queer possibilities that reside in the construction of safe spaces. This opened a whole host of areas where I let my explorations go. My work calls for laying a clear groundwork for my intention and position as a queer artist. It often encourages reflection on links between personal and systemic boundaries and heteronormative structures. How can one define and negotiate their engagement with these spaces? This reflection is especially important for queer people in India, who frequently negotiate diverse social and personal environments. This constant interaction of my self-referential points with the ones that exist outside me leaves my work with descript expressions from within to without. My genesis arose from an understanding of the rich storytelling possibilities buried in clothes, fabric and textiles. The nature of my material is integral to making. In my work, the fabric is treated as an art object in its own right. It subscribes to the need for a manifestation of these pieces into many. In the main, my practice comes out as the labour of love I am willing to undertake as my creative expression.
