“For myself the movies’ conjure up images of song and dance. In my artwork the

emphasis is on’ rhythm’ which is conveyed through the gestures and postures of the dancing figures. The overlapping shapes suggest the amalgamation of various Indian classical dances, freestyle, ballroom and moonwalk. The reference to numbers ‘56’ and ‘75’ represents the colourful multicultural Commonwealth theme and the years of Indian Independence respectively.”
