| who am i? |
  |
how i do what i do |
| |
this is a complex question, since i think that at this moment, i am still evolving as a person. i think i am as complex as the question, because everyday who i think i am is always changing depending on all of my encounters and experiences each day, each moment. |
|
| |
in making objects, i try to utilise everything possible at my disposal, and usually the media i use determines what i do with them and the ideas i want to resolve personally or communicate with the viewer. at times, i discover the secrets of the materials/media and manipulate them to my advantage. i pride myself as being an efficient craftsman. |

i am a typical caribbean male of african descent, and so i am almost schizophrenic (with dual personality, european/african and sometimes indian), which affects my thinking or assists me in viewing things from various perspectives. |

| |
i am a person/craftsman who tries to make fine things/objects with my hands. |

i am never satisfied with the last work i did, that’s why i am doing the next one after it, although i believe that all the work is just a continuum of one work. I love to make mistakes because i know i am getting better. |
