About Artist
Role of media like books, news, TV visuals to help in spreading knowledge of skill, wisdom for one
mind? What if the source of media is corrupted, controlled then what kind of social system it will lead towards? Books as media is an excellent way to spread wisdom and facts. But is it enough? What about
other sources? What about those stories, spoken wisdom which were not recorded? Is this Book media
manipulated? Who controls it? How does it get acceptance? I am interested in The Biological and Emotional Causes of Aggression. How violent crime may be caused in part by failure or reduced ability to regulate emotions. What does a bitten body, tortured mind look like? What does it look like inside the mind when one is crumbled emotio-nally?
To represent this I work on discarded books, Newspaper Television, laptop, mobile computer or any other possible media like I am fighting with it using blade, hacksaw, axe, drill machine, grinding machine to make cuts, marks, dig on source of knowledge, communication and facts. These book works look like wounded body and blast site etc making awareness around torture, harassed memory, humiliation or
utmost suffering. My Current practice is focused on aspects of mixing frustration and meditation. I am fascinated by how the mixing of words creates a harmonic wave where the meaning of letters, words and sentences lose their identity and become part of the wave which may represent the increasing involvement with data
centric life.
