CADANGAN KARYA

I created my own interactive art style called moving paintings where my paintings physically move and this art project is an extension of it. Every piece in this art installation “Healing Extensions” moves at joints and the audience can interact with it.

Healing extensions is about how everything in our everyday life can inspire, help and heal us during this very difficult time of lockdown and global pandemic. I lost my father recently and I am using art and my imagination to heal myself. Everything in our surrounding like our tools, the equipment we use, our walls and our very setting can help us.

Since I am an Artist the equipment I commonly use is an easel. I see my easel turn into extensions filled with creative ideas and stories.

When you place a new canvas on the easel it is blank. But what if there are already ideas lingering around the easel and the canvas finds a place and an idea there.

PENYATAAN KARYA

I am a multidisciplinary artist and poet who is currently working on a series known as ‘moving paintings in wood’ where the paintings physically move.

I believe art is a communication tool and works effortlessly to interact with the audience, allowing them to participate in my work. I feel that everything in our surrounding inspires us. Especially during this period of lockdown, as we are stuck at home, everything we use –tools, equipment – can inspire us, heal us and provide us with what we think we lack.

I am working towards finding new meanings in art. My motto “Art is for everyone” is a continuous journey.
