Triveni Kala Sangam, New Delhi
This space where I create my works also doubles up as my office as the head of the Department of Art at Triveni Kala Sangam where I teach. I don’t work in isolation like a lot of artists do. It’s essential that I have all this life around me, these students working in the other rooms down the corridor, the interruptions. Yet, amidst all this, I am an introvert. These works of mine result from scratching the canvas meticulously, for hours, for weeks, for months. Or from experimenting with chemicals and layering transparent surfaces. I spend the day here, and return after dinner to work until midnight every day.
