Hi, I’m Shankar!

I'm a sculptor and computational artist. I am particularly interested in using these processes to explore themes of perception, embodiment, and digital-analogue hybrid scenes; along the way discovering what non-human systems can reveal about the human condition.

I am also a regular performer at Wavetable, where I create live visuals to compliment experimental electronic music!

I work from my studio at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, and I am keen to explore local and international collaborations!
