2005 - VALLARI is, in technique, a continuation of the EUROPIUM series where I used an analog photographic process that consisted of shooting models and individual elements, then layering and aligning the film, and rephotographing them to create the final image. But in subject matter the theme of this series is, Muses for the Modern Arts, where the classical Grecian Muses do not directly translate.

The series title Vallari is a Hindi name which means Goddess, but more specifically refers to the Goddess Parvati. She takes on two very powerful forms, one is the Goddess Beyond Reach, and the other is the Goddess of Destruction. These are the ways of the artist, for it is the artists that are constantly striving for something beyond themselves and beyond their reach, which often results in some degree of emotional, physical and financial destruction.
