The books shown here are a selection from a body of work that was created over a four year period. When fully unfolded, their size is 6 inches by 40 inches. There are about twenty five of these books, a few of which I gave away as gifts.
Inspiration for many of the forms in these books came from Vedanta scripture, and the temples, plants, birds and animals in South India. I was particularly effected by the Kannappa temple, set a little ways back in the forest off the Girivalam Road in Tiruvannamalai. Sitting on those ancient stones, I understood that the dog trotting down the path, the tangled grasses, the wind in the trees, everything I could see, hear and sense as well as the senses, the mind and body are made out of knowledge.
