The mass of ideals that form everyday concepts of democracy are at the crux of my practice. Notions such as: the freedom of speech, equality, transparency of information, and the right to vote, twinkle and tempt me as noble ideas framing ignoble realities. They inspire me to reconfigure the government's wealth of statistical information into brightly coloured abstract paintings. See There are a few things I think you ought to know… and Tax Payer's Money. They inspire me to take my own counts, thereby validating all citizens as countable and legitimate. See A walk around the periphery of the constituency of Malviya Nagar. They inspire me to question the idea of civil liberties and the freedom of speech. See 13 captured telephone conversations – all one minute long and Anti-war speeches. The inspire me to question the actions and inactions of citizens. See Every second is like, forever, and every year is like 11.3 centimetres. They inspire me to re-image contemporary global situations. See Governing Values and Landscapes. They inspire me to question the end goals of endless collaborative efforts. See Team Joy. And inevitably they inspire me to imagine the future. See Ground Plan.
