SELF PORTRAIT Experimental Art

Left to Right: RED TAPE, MONEY PLANT and TAKING STOCK (paper, newsprint and tape)
Red Tape looks at the bureaucracy that exists in India that prevents "Our Helpers" to help us, especially true today after the recent Mumbai attack
s and raises the question of how appropriate is it to celebrate Xmas this year. Money Plant is about the commercialism and mall culture that has become
associated with Xmas even in India. Taking Stock uses a page from the Economic Times, which shows the dismal state of the stock market, but it also hints
at the wastage of trees during Xmas and for the production of "paper stock".

THE FIRST SUPPER, left and CARNE(VAL), right
The usage of multiple turkeys (taken from Indian firework labels) looks at the fact that so many turkeys are killed every Christmas. The words
Carne (meat) and Carnival (festival) are combined to form this associatio of the celebration of the birth of one man with the death of thousands of turkeys.

ALFRED HITCHOCK Book Covers (Concepts)
For this re-issue of stories from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, we decided to use the very recognizable silhoutte of Hitchcock, but relate the
actual form of his outline to elements from crime scenes, such as blood stains, plastic bags (suffocation), cloth (for tieing someone) and arson.

WALKING THE CITY (Photography Poster)
Taken in one of the most walkable cities in the world, this is a graphic study of people walking on 23rd street in
New York City.

MOVING (Collage Art made from found object)
The idea here is to make the word look like what it means.

UNITY?
A sign in Mumbai, photographed during the agitation against north Indians working in Maharashtra. This division within a unified nation is a strong threat
to the nation's tolerance and maturity. Is this really unity then? This irony is reflected in the sign that spells out the word "UNITY" but doesn't convey its
true meaning.

CAUTION TABLE (Product Design)










POSTCARD PROJECT II
In this self-initiated project, I mailed my girlfriend postcards on a regular basis. These postcards travelled from
New York to Jaipur, India. The idea here is to use visual communication to touch someone's heart. And to also
learn to create something beautiful that you give away—literally, since many of the postcards got lost along the way.

CULTURE CLASH I: BROOKLYN MEET CHINATOWN (Juxtaposition Series)

BLUE BIRD & CO. (rescued type)
These handmade wooden 1 foot tall letters have been rescued from a more than 50 year old business in Connaught Place, Delhi

POSTCARD PROJECT
In this self-initiated project, I mailed myself a postcard a day for about 9 months. I had a few constraints for the project—the postcards could not be bought, they had to be mailed everyday and always list my
address and the date. I don't claim these works to be solely mine. Someone designed the original postcard and the postal service also contributed with their stamps and other markings.
