I like creating geometrical patterns through various mediums. I like them to be precise in terms of their shape and construction. Using threads and nails has been one of the many creative ways I could use to make geometrical shapes and have fun with them. Each nail is hammered individually and then I weave the threads through the nails one by one by hand until I get the desired shape and its placement onto the sculpture. Together these shapes create a beautiful complexity and the fine lines of threads mixing with each other create a beautiful, intricate pattern. Around 125 yards of thread is used in one artwork. the colourful matchboxes are the fire element that i wanted to add in this piece. As a child, I was always playing with matchboxes and collecting them, which inspired me to use them as one of the mediums for this artwork. Artwork comes ready to hang, box framed in a white wooden frame with glass, safely secured in a wooden crate.
