used train tickets, tie dye on cotton

2005

I do a lot of travelling by train. Some of the train's ticket had been collected. Especially my traveling from and to Bandung - Jogjakarta. I was studying and now I stay and work in Jogjakarta for ten years. My hometown is Bandung, West Java. The trip and my adaptation in both of the city was inspired me to make this work.

so.. this work is a diary about my trip.

A collaboration with Irene AgrivineBenda Gallery, Jogjakarta

2001

This work is our three-dimensional imagination !!!We make this collaboration, because we were impressed with each other.I was impressed by Ira's imagination, and she was impressed by my imagination to a sheet of fabric, made it's alive!!!
I love tie-dye !!!   I like to experiment with some technique, fabric and color. Try experiment and make new tehnique. It's amazing !! I never find similar motif 100% eventhough for the same technique.
And I wondered, what it will be, if I combine all my experience by sewing them.It will be very wonderful to walk around the fabrics and see all the result of my experience.!!!
