About The Artwork
This photograph is of an original paper cutting featuring an anatomical study of the human brain. There are several print sizes available and also an option to choose a matching frame. In the anatomical photographs I used as reference for this piece I could see intriguing shapes and patterns that I had to capture. I created this paper cutting during the first few weeks of the Corona Lockdown and it is partly a celebration of the best of human ingenuity, a nod of thanks to those working so hard to develop a vaccine and keep us safe. As I held the paper cutting up to the window, the sky became visible through the intricate gaps. The calm blue of the sky speckled with fluffy white clouds gave me a sense of freedom and calmness as I was physically confined, locked down within the walls of my house. It also reminded me that my body might be kept shut up indoors but my mind was free to wander wherever I wished. I hope this piece can perhaps bring a little freedom or calm to another and remind us of the ingenuity and intelligence of the human mind.

The order and perfection of geometry captured me from the moment my father put a compass in my hand, at the age of 4. Geometry often appears in my art and for me, it can be a symbol of order, structure and rules. To juxtapose fragments of perfectly formed geometry beside intuitive mark making, abstract swirls of colour or photo layered images and drawings fills me with a sense of satisfaction as it somehow mirrors our lives - a multiplicity of seemingly random events that may have some order beneath. Often, my artwork has a deeper symbolic narrative that allows it to almost be read and understood on a variety of levels. Certain geometric shapes and designs can be seen to have symbolic meaning in Islamic art, I sometimes use this to build in a deeper layer of symbolism into my work. Having lived the first part of my life in the diverse island of Trinidad, in the caribbean, I am drawn to vivid colours and textures, perhaps somehow harking back to the colours of carnival. Yet my personal studies into Islamic, Euclidean and non Euclidean geometry have opened up a world of psychological and spiritual symbology that has allowed me to explore bigger themes such as order and chaos; predetermination and freedom; intuition and reason.
