TitelMother & Daughter: Ibu Tukinem & Mbak Ambar
BeskrivelseThe artwork is from Malam Di Jari Kita (The Wax On Our Fingers), a series arising from the collaborative efforts of Singapore photographer Samantha Tio (Mintio), Indonesian artist Budi Agung Kuswara (Kabul) and the batik makers of the Sido Luhur group from the village of Kebon Indah in Central Java. The series consists of nine artworks - four individual pieces, three diptych, a triptych and a quadtych - which combine the traditional art of batik with contemporary photography. The ladies featured are the batik makers who participated in the making of these works.“The youngest participant in the Malam Di Jari Kita project, Mbak Ambar was still studying batik making in a nearby school when the artworks were being made. A few months after the end of the project, she finished her studies and is the first batch of graduates from the batik making course. Mbak Ambar presently works at a batik shop in Solo. For the designs on Ibu Tukinem’s attire, she started on the wax application process but her mother eventually helped to complete the piece.”
