ARTIST STATEMENT on PREGNANT VISUAL SPACE

Pregnant Visual Space is nothing but ‘Sacred Space’, emanating with multiple boundless possibilities. This space for me is filled with all possible human contemplative concepts formulated over the millennium/s, in human thoughts.In my work since early seventies, I have been occupied with these concepts subconsciously and consciously. Moreover I continue to develop this notion as a visual idea. For me its a vocabulary of thought evolving slowly but surely over a period of my life’s visual work from the late sixties to the current work.In particular within my manuscript book ‘Caressing with the Constellations’, I have specifically used the female form to emphasise the creative forces pregnant within the human form/s as a generative force of boundless human visual concept/s. It is only now that I am able in my limited way to express it in words.
