Most of my work is an observational and a personal interpretation of the intricate ways nature interrelates and informs humanity. My association with plant culture holds an enquiry into this interrelationship. This practice engages me with the process of looking, selecting, collecting and recording, which is translated into 'specimens' like drawings.Apart from using pencils, my drawings are achieved through layers of colouring with colour pencils. Some are cut out by hand and presented in boxed frames.
My studies aim to reflect aspects of the human practice and desires with the use of plants as multi-demensional representations. The reference point for my practice is a construct of nature-society relationship where I exploit plants as cultural symbols fostered to suit our milieu.
