BATIK

​

''The techniques, symbolism and culture surrounding hand-dyed cotton and silk garments known as Indonesian Batik permeate the lives of Indonesians from beginning to end.''

​

This ancient tradition was inscribed by UNESCO on the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. I had the privilege to study this craft with artists Agus Ismoyo & Nia Fliam. At their Brahma Tirata Sari studio, in Yogiakarta, Java. More than passing on a tradition, they teach a contemporary (conceptual) approach 

Following this artist residence, My cyanotype piece Flamenca was selected by the Babaran Segara Gunung Organisation for their online exhibition called FiberFace 4; Resonance
