“During my PhD project I became interested in ideas about passive solar houses inspired by Vastu Indian Architecture as a way of connecting with nature and natural light. I used the placement of my works to compare how disconnected our buildings are from nature and natural light. I aligned my works with true cardinal points of north, south, east and west with an aim to subvert the studio or gallery spaces. I began to use my own height as a unit of measurement to be compared with the architecture around me and natural light fields in extended space. I continue to be interested in connection between my practice, Colour Field Painting and Post-minimalism.”
