Reflection Bench

A functional work of art the bench is meant to sit and reflect.
It also designed in a way that the colors shift and reflect.

‘X’

Form, color and light interact to create reflected color, but the surfaces are not always reflective and only appear to reflect.

Color Field

Intersecting multi-colored lines, mix and blend to create a shifting color field that ebbs and flows, recedes and advances. At the same time, the print is also dizzying and jarring, creating optical illusions.

Hand routed relief cut lines are inked with a color blend. To achieve this larger scale the print is made up of smaller units printed on Gampi paper which are then mounted and tiled together to a larger sheet, each panel will is 3’ x 6' and is hung together seamlessly.

The Temperature of Color

Being both a designer and artist, there is a graphic sensibility to my work. I use lines, geometry, form and color; these speak to my innate aesthetics, culture and influences. With this new body of work I explores the intrinsic qualities of color, form and light; their ability to mingle and mix to achieve optical illusions.

Growing up in India a place of vibrant colors and textiles, color exists in every aspect of life. In Hawaii color exists in the saturated and magical colors of nature. These moments, memories and observed phenomena exist in my work.
