Glass has inspired me to express myself through colours, shapes, textures and forms. I enjoy working with hot glass as it gives me free rein to create interesting pieces which is abstract and fun. My work unravels the facets of human emotions and I am fascinated by the inner being of soul. They are expressed in the form of masks and feminine heads depicting the fantasy more than the realism. My style is abstract in nature embellished with the contemporary fashion of the day coupled with head gear and hair style and more often with a flower tattoo on the face. My creations bring out the delightful feeling of enchantment with an ethereal connection.
My signature three dimensional masks and women are made in glass by two different methods- one in paper weight technique and the other in Graal technique. For the glass masks, I work with molten glass which is often rolled into colours of my choice and then poured into the mold for casting. The pieces are then slowly annealed to the room temperature inside a kiln. After they cool, the pieces are ground and polished to get the final finish. I also develop and design vases in Graal technique where I encase the feminine heads with abstract expressionism.
