A combined approach to Studio and Social Practice leads me to create ephemeral and material works including actions, objects, exhibitions, and collective production with members of the South Asian Women's Creative Collective. My art is rooted in conceptual feminism, employing materials such as leather whips, nails, paint, utensils and jewels to make works across scale and mediums. Contemporary historic moments, positions of power, themes of nationhood are explored and critiqued using painting, sculpture and drawings. Complexities and ambiguities are left unresolved, while the formal treatment prioritizes a crafty feminist approach, referencing pop art traditions from South Asia.
