This work can best be described in the words

of Tim Scott: “abstract sculpture attempts...to

found itself on inspired insights into the actual

physicality of real subjects, however disparate

and varied their origins, and to then remould

such insights into fresh three dimensional

form conditioned by the processes of making.”

These pieces are part of a series of site-oriented

works I made at my Kolkata studio. My studio

was a haven of sorts, a derelict old building

with trees growing on it, and inside it, in the

middle of Chowringhee Road, the commercial

and business heart of the city. These nostalgic

images are of pieces inspired by the site. They

capture the essence of the work and became

the work rather than the physical pieces

themselves.

I am an artist and a chef, originally from

Kolkata and now living in Brooklyn, waiting

for the day my multiple worlds intersect.
