My current paintings are layered, experiential constructions of personal story and history, attempting to dissolve social, political and economic barriers towards the collective human reckoning with our mortality. As both Hindu and Atheistic origins from my bicultural upbringing pervade my continuous wonder, it is through my spiritualized visions of memory, buried and then remembered, where I confront time, loss, and the unattainable. With tender and familiar representations painted beneath, a physical built veil rests atop each painting as a result of an ongoing psychic archeological excavation, a textural residue left by my endless seeking for meaning, truth and comfort.
