Statement

Generally my ideas come from surrounding natural. I live in country that have beatiful landscape like sea, mountain, rice field, hills, etc. Besides that, I also have an idea from urban of where I live. My works are represented by description of the above.
Actually my works have zoom in zoom out principal. Like if you see something by microscope (zoom in) or you see something from far away distance such as you are in the plane and look down (zoom out). You may just look a simple geometrical forms, like lines, curved, rounded, triangle, square, ellipse, etc. If you see my works hope you would have the sensation of that.

Jatiwangi Artists in Residence Festival (JARF) was held in 2010. Jatiwangi is some place in West Java province, Indonesia. This program was initiated by JAF (Jatiwangi Art Factory) community. The participants are from various artist background, such as ceramic artist, video artist, painter, performance artist, traditional dancer, and musician. The participants not just came from Indonesia, also US, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico, and Srilanka. The Indonesian artists was represented from various cities, like Bandung, Jakarta, dan Yogya. From Bandung by me and Nurdian Ichsan (lecturer of faculty of Art and Design ITB). We all stay in the home residents, mostly one family for one artist. We stay for 2 weeks and made art collaborate with the people in the village.
The theme of our art works is "action". We made basic forms from local clay. Generally we used 2 basic forms i.e. cylinder and bowl and totally produced 50 wares. When they were still wet condition, they got an action from people in the village. Every person who selected must responded to the wares. We didn't restrict the age or profession of village people in this "action". We up to someone to hit, squeeze, push, or anything they liked to the wares so the last form would be totally deformed.
When all of the wares had gotten action, this collaboration art was exhibited in the village hall.
