These paintings consist of various materials that
differ from painting to painting. The materials include
i.a. Cow Dung, Mud, Pigment, Gold Dust, Silver Leaf,
Wax, Casein, and Magma on Canvas.
The paintings are a reinterpretation
of the
Shiva lingam,
the abstract symbol to represent the idea of Shiva:
the cycle that defines life, death and rebirth.
Created after the death
of my father, these paintings for me represent
the continuity from
life into death; the transformation of matter into spirit,
through
the force of life.
