This series titled ‘Mind Gym’, was done during the period of extreme Covid 19 restrictions and lockdowns. The effects of staying in a constricted environment made me want to break out of my normal painting process and method. The limited physical space, opened up other avenues of exploration in painting techniques, medium and colour palette for me. The language of art, itself was dramatically
altered. I broke free of logical pattern making and learned formulations seeking a whimsically meditative experience. The unrestricted brush work and hypnotic transformation of the white strips of canvas led me to discover further the strong, basic, magical world of lines, shapes and forms. The meandering ink and brush strokes always accompanied by music were a perfect balance traversing through the
imbalance of the times.
