In India curated Sites of Recurrence at Dakshinachitra 1n 2003 and curated the workshop and seminar Fluid Signs,Perceptions and Identity at Dakshinachitra and Lalit Kala,Chennai.”My work is about life experience, consciousness, and feminism. I feel the vibrance of nature and our connection to it. I agree with Deleuze and Guattari's discussions of the negative effects of patriarchal systems on women's independence and control over their bodies. I also find inspiration in their theories of rhizomatic, nonhierarchical and nonchronological ways of thinking, networking, collaborating, making connections and disseminating ideas.”
