I am a Light and Illumination artist, making indoor and outdoor immersive, 2D and 3D work. The images here emphasize large-scale work and gallery exhibitions. I grew up without manufactured Light in a farming community in India, living with natural Light and shadows. I now explore manufactured Light. Light is a natural and democratic medium and metaphors linking Light to knowledge, awareness, thought, ideas are abundant: “enlightenment,” “bright ideas,” “flashes of genius.”

In addition to discrete work, I really like making installations that tactically and dimensionally transform everyday places and gallery spaces with programmed Light and color (and sound) so as to entice the viewer to slow down and contemplate light and color and genuineness in their own lives.
