Land Water Vessel Installation

Born Colombo, Sri Lanka 1948
I have been working as an artist for over 30 years. First started to make work about Landscape and Nature after a walk in the Canadian Rockies with Hamish Fulton in 1975.

My work seeks to make connections between different phenomena in the world. Specifically between:

Nature and Culture
Inner and Outer
Microcosm and Macrocosm

All of my works, over the past 25 years have been concerned with these connections. This is what unites the whole body of work.

I do not have a particular style, nor do I prefer one material or process over another, rather I will seek the most appropriate means and material to find, and make explicit, those connections. To this end I collaborate with scientists and technicians from a broad spectrum of disciplines and technology. This may mean that one exhibition or work outside may look very different to another. Each work starts from zero and breaks new ground. Its starting point is the place and/or the situation. My work therefore is a continuing dialogue with the world, exploring our place in the universe.
