The series Through The Looking Glass and Other Stories is a personal narrative of issues related to migration, displacement and acculturation. Many of these are constructions from my personal encounters, memories and readings.  A major aspect of the work is the trauma of migration that makes one a minority, different, and faced with uncertainty in an unfamiliar landscape. Alice’s journey in Wonderland, her encounters with the strange, absurd landscape that parallels the experience of the ‘other’, has proven to be a powerful metaphor in portraying these issues for me. These experiences are referenced in my work by juxtapositions of the immediate surroundings with those of the past through the use of appropriation of the original illustration of the ‘white rabbit’ from the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, personalized drawing of Alice, maps and boundaries, blown up images of my own thumb print, simplified self-portrait usually in profile, phone receivers, decorative motifs from India and an excerpt from the Patriot Act. I construct these realities in my work by combining drawing with printmaking and using repetition, sewing, tearing, adding, cutting and overlapping. I have been using printmaking as the primary vehicle in portrayal of these ideas.
