Statement

My art practice interlaces the domains of painting, sculpture and installation and draws from the universal experience of shifting places, finding new homes, and adjusting and absorbing into new spaces. Larger issues of migration, nationalism, citizenship, land ownership, climate change, and non-script language narratives intertwine to address my artistic research.

I use para-fiction as a means of parallel archiving whilst working with colonial documents and archival objects. Employing non-traditional cartographic and map-making techniques help me create maps, and archaeological objects as a commentary on the agency, accessibility, and conflict in geopolitical and territorial divisions of the land. The parafictional archives created in this process are antagonists to museological practices critiquing the archives and display whilst referring to para-museology. The counter position on museology also emphasises archiving and museology as reminiscences of colonial practices. I’m also keenly interested in studying the role of language and narrative building in display practices.
