It's meditative and yet it’s a visual narrative to communicate and connect with. I love the process behind each piece that I create. No two pieces are really alike and nor are the stories behind them. My workshop is a traveling one as I am consumed by wanderlust and creativity. I collect driftwood from the shores of Lake Superior to the raging rivers of the Himalayas and the Karakorum. What eventu
ally transpires with these driftwood pieces is unknown to me at the time but there is as much pleasure in wandering the wilderness collecting treasures, as there is to work with them and make art. On the other side of the spectrum is going to the Taal (lumberyard) and either picking up reclaimed wood or my favorite hardwood: Sheesham. The grains of Sheesham are art in itself and as I sand the pieces, the wood unveils itself with all the glory of what Mother Nature has to offer. This is just a snippet of my story. My mediums to work with vary and most often the choice is dependent on my location and the availability of raw materials. More so, additions to any pieces are mostly repurposed materials that I find through thrift store shopping and garage sales in the U.S. to roaming and scavenging the streets of Lal Kurti and Raja Bazaar in Rawalpindi. So there's more to come soon. I will also be uploading a link to my website – which will primarily be focusing on my photography. In the mean time, do like my page for updates and new art pieces.
