Found trees on my walks in the city of Dar Es Salaam. 
Being born & brought up in such a picturesque part of the world, I have this deep fascination with nature and an intense love for trees. Therefore, I am extremely drawn to interact with bark cloth and logs as my preferred choice of surfaces for my artwork.  I collect objects from my environment, found objects that hold memories and which are organically alive such as: trees, horns, hide, logs & bone. I create my own pigments to paint with from crystals, cow bones, saffron, turmeric, coffee, henna and even blood as a medium, as different pigments can be combined for unexpected outcomes. My ideology towards the abstract in art endeavours to develop something that bridges Indian, African & Modern Art. Being from a minority in my part of the world, I feel that it’s vital that I pioneer a new marriage of different cultures. As art invokes change, my practice is pluralistic and is focused on creating bridges  of harmony between the various cultures, religions & creations.
