Sculptor, born in Calcutta, India, who studied at Goldsmiths’ College School of Art and Slade School of Fine Art. In 1978 took part in 3 Garden Exhibitions at Camden Arts Centre. In 1990 conceived a huge sculpture, dedicated to human rights, which comprised a pair of wooden wings supported on an inclined column, and inset with rows of niches, each containing fibre-optic candles that would have glowed in the wind. It was destined for Potters Fields Park, on the south bank of the River Thames, opposite the Tower of London. Despite heavy support it was refused planning permission by the then environment secretary, John Gummer.
