Artist Statement
I have always been drawn to visual mediums. Whether it was my own interest in painting, that later evolved into photography, and then to moving images. Today I like to embrace technology to create experiential and larger than life artworks that are placed both in reality and magic.
Using still images, time-lapse photography, animation and film, the installation, ‘The Colombo Project’ (2016) hoped visitors could experience Colombo’s potential as a vibrant metropolitan. ‘The Colombo Project’ is an ongoing endeavour that started taking shape a decade ago, and evolves as I evolve, and the city evolves.
Research is a key element of my artistic practice. And I work collaboratively with my subjects, other artists and researchers to help me broaden my perspective on themes I’m passionate about.
