Saya tertarik pada fenomena-fenomena budaya masa. Karya-karya saya banyak mengeksplorasi budaya konsumsi yang menjadi sistem baru masyarakat kontemporer dewasa ini. Akhir-akhir ini saya banyak melakukan riset terhadap idiom budaya massa, seperti tiket kereta api, beha bekas dan lain-lain. Idiom itu membantu dalam mengkomunikasikan pesan melalui karya.
Ketertarikan saya pada seni serat oleh karena media ini terbuka untuk dieksplorasi dan memiliki ruang eksperimen tanpa batas. Salah satunya adalah teknik celup ikat, bagi saya teknik ini sangat menarik karena teknik ini melahirkan berbagai hasil tak terduga. Saya menerapkan temuan ini untuk membuat motif dan bentuk pada karya saya.Karya-karya yang diciptakan berupaya mengajak audiens untuk melihat berbagai budaya konsumsi sebagai fenomena yang tak terelak dan menarik untuk dikaji lebih jauh.
I am interested to the phenomenon of mass culture. My artworks often explore the culture of consumerism which becomes the new system within the current contemporary society. Recently I did many researches to the idiom of mass culture, such as train tickets, used bras, etc. The idiom helps in communicating messages through my artworks.
My interest to fiber art is because this medium is open for explorations and it has unlimited space for experiments. One of them is the tie-dye technique, which is very interesting for me because the technique gives unpredictable results. I apply this discovery in creating motifs and shapes in my works. The artworks I made are trying to take the audience to see further into the culture of consumerism as an inevitable phenomenon and how interesting it is to be discussed further.
