Tanah Air Beta (Indonesia)
2011 | mixed media on unstretched canvas | 130 x 70 cm
Collection of Prof Alastair Pearce
Statement:
I used to think of maps as merely just part of geography lesson which has its function to identify and gives information about certain places. However in this work, I am attracted to the aesthetics of the natural shapes of islands which are the result of the shifting and changing of earth from time to time. Coming from Indonesia, I am particularly drawn to the islands of Indonesia which gives me an idea in a new way of looking at the disparate and scattered islands that make up Indonesia.
Through interpreting these shapes and parts of Indonesia into a drawing filled with different colours that I associate with childhood woodblock toys, I wish to evoke a sense of nostalgia and memory of the country which I grew up in.
The painting is featured in Cartographic Desire Exhibition at Project Space, LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore on 11 - 25 August 2011, curated By Hazel Lim

Go Fishing (Go the Distance)
2011 | mixed media on unstretched canvas| 78 x50 cm
is about the voyage of two explorers who are searching what they have been looking for. This idea is inspired by Disney’s Hercules OST by Michael Bolton -Go the Distance.
And I won't look back I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track No, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance And my journey is complete
