Forced to flee from his native home due to the Kashmiri insurgency, he has established a new life for himself at an old sausage factory in Peckham. He lives there with a sole companion, his 16 year old Jack Russel 'Mr C'- who has made the studio a home for almost two decades. During the lockdown, while creating these new works, he converted the old factory car park by hand into an alpine rockery worthy of Alice in Wonderland- to remind him of the dreamscape gardens and mountains of his youth in Kashmir.
