‘

I use a formalistic approach to create ceramics with delicate glazes, which is informed by my curiosity in both art-historical imagery and philosophy. The garba-griha and lingam/yoni forms in Indian temples have triggered questions related to creation, sexuality, sublimity and spirituality. The Temple Series emerged from this intensely spiritual experience, differentiating itself from religion. This series evokes an expression of peace, experienced through the form and its minimal tones of white, associative with faith and meditative energy. The lotus is another symbolic motif that I use to represent feminine sexuality and the generation of new life.

I did my Masters and Bachelors degrees in sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts from M.S. University, Baroda. My inspiration comes from architecture and nature. I have been taught by Ray Meeker, Deborah Smith, Peter lllsley and Sandy Brown.

I have exhibited internationally and nationally & have won the Charles Wallace scholarship in 2001.
