Wicked Relief - Stage I Vector graphic design, laser cutting, digital collage, 2022-23 Wicked Relief is a two stage project that explores the influences that the Bauhaus Movement (1919-33) artists and designers have had on Color Theory, functional and industrial design, critical theory, fiction literature and film, mass production, etc, and subsequent movements as Constructivism, Abstraction, Abstract Expressionism, Modernism, Pop Art, and so forth. Oscillating between digital – analog – digital, these visual explorations investigate design methods of, and those inspired by the Bauhaus Movement (1919-1933, Germany). Like Bauhaus designers and artists who sought to unify visual art and replication, this series focuses on function and aesthetic qualities over idealized notions of beauty.

Collaborative Art Project is an international collaborative art project curated by Malavika Mandal Andrew and Kirt Chandak wherein the selected artists have worked in trios to create three original artworks, along with each also producing an individual piece. All artworks have been exhibited at TASMAI, a Centre for Art & Culture at Pondicherry as well as online. For the first phase of the project, titled Two Zero Two One, the theme is "Experiences in Lockdown", exploring and expanding on the artist's experiences in the worldwide lockdown that we have found ourselves in since early 2020.

“Subtle Drifts” is a six-part digital print series, featuring image stills generated through human interaction. Digital prints are stills from an interactive video series, Blend. The more viewers interact with Blend’s Web camera, the brighter the generated images appear. I have captured video stills documenting six-intervals in the live video feed. Images present organic subtle drifts in color values overlayed with generative, ink-line drawings.

Eden sank to grief is inspired by Robert Frost’s peom, “Nothing Gold Can Last”. As a burst of light, Frost’s prose speak of how nothing that is good will last.
This piece explores the temporality of nature through changing bursts of light. Wood, acrylic and plastic fiber optic cables originating as organic material will one day degrade and return to the Earth.
