All ideas grow out of other ideas

I'm not necessarily interested in being the best Indian artist. I want to be the best artist I can be. That's enough of a declaration of intent.

If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.

I don't want to have anything to say, it just gets in the way. I think the journey of an artist is a journey of discovery and some engagements with paint, with the nature of material, with bodily things...One wants to open the story, not close it.

I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.

It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.

Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
