In November 2000, I went to Borobudur in central Java. While I was there I lost all sense of time as I felt that I has stepped into a secret world that had been long forgotten in the West. Parties, celebration, laughter and magic filled the air, a culture which is rich with romance and beauty. As I traveled the ten levels of the temple I was in awe of the stories which are carved into the walls and the stillness which surrounded them as if they stand alone in time.
The gift I descended with from Borobudur is this show.
In the past I have felt stuck with concepts I have placed on my artistic expression, strangling it with ideas of beauty, perfection and keeping within the lines. This show I decided to take an approach of having no conceptual idea, and to allow myself the freedom to express without constraints.
As a result I have felt my passion and the joys of expression flourish. I enjoy what I do. The focus is no longer how it looks but how it feels. That is the perfection.
If my audience can feel my art then I have succeeded, for to feel is beautiful.
Special thanks to Monika Evers, King Syailendra of Borobudur and Prince Ratu. |
