Research Interest

Subject Description Research Interest (Goal, Target Indicator)
Wood Metal Art Work I have chosen wood as my preferred to express my feelings and ideas about time, history and tradition. I modify a piece of wood through a meticulous process of transformation by burning edges, hammering brass plates into different areas of its surface, etching exquisite designs and creating textured patterns. I invest a great deal of time and patience in my wood works, trying to work out of my theme in a cluster of interlocking objects or patterns and outwardly flowing forms. I cull my themes from myth, history and legend and form folk imagination. I try to bend the traditional and contemporary forms. However, the touch of a modern sensuality turns that history on legend into a living present.
