Figuratively, various
At this point in my practice, I am involved in creating art that has subjects which are entangled with my current thoughts, energy, and time. I approach my piece with no regard for any pre-condition. Sometimes I have a lot of things to tell, in limited time, Or, I have little to say, with plenty of times. I enjoy the structure, the muscles, and movement, bending, twisting, and turning of the body forms. My subject has always been primarily the human form. My figures are not historically based nor do they have a social context. They are purely form; they are without telling of where they are from and why there are there, and when they are. The ideology behind this is neither constructive nor destructive. It's just as it is. -- Prabin
