TitoloResting Time: Mbak Tri Muliyani & Ibu Tukirah
CreatoreSamantha Tio, Budi Agung Kuswara
DescrizioneThe 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.“This mother and daughter pair of Ibu Tukirah and Mbak Tri Muliyani works at Batik Wahyu Putro. Ibu Tukirah assists with colouring while her daughter does the tracing of motifs on cloth. In a single day, Mbak Tri is able to complete the motifs on three different pieces of fabric. She is one of the young ladies in Kebon Indah’s batik industry and started at the workshop after completing her secondary education. Here, mother and daughter are taking a break from work.”
