Munny World Festival Indonesia 2011

HEY !! long time not update my blog, while i had some great activities to share.

I joined the Munny World Festival Indonesia 2011 again, the date was in December 9th to 11th.

This was my second participation. If the first one was only a tinny puppets of "trikky" which is 4inch. Then now we have to modification the bigger Munny. It was about 7inch tall.

My concept is about a women. She represents of me. And i give her a pattern of zebra. Because i love zebra, and i mixed with my last ear ceramics exhibition as her background setting. Her name is Inifa. Which is reverse of my name. I let her chest and stomach open as i know she's fragile but still wanted to be brave colected ears , because women loved to hear and to be hear. Well ignore the concept.. and let your perception flow when you see her, then .

If i put in the box again, looks like already a zebra!

Ceramic Workshop before Exhibition 6th-12th Oct,11

Mirjam Veldhuis , the ceramic artist from Holand. She is our mentor in the workshop. The concept is about "Skin Matters". She told us to used some pattern, look a like a flower with many petals as a brain storming method. That is , in my opinion, really works well! :)

My sketch of the brain-storming idea. On the center we wrote skin, and next petal we wrote anything random which still conected with skin. And every next word have related with the word before and so on, but randomly. Then the word on last petals will be far away from Skin Matters. That i choose TV. How come Skin related to TV?? hehe, now that is the challenge.

Many idea growth in my brain. But after i wrote it, i choosed to make a wallpaper as an identic thing with TV. Well, usually we watch TV in the Living room. And Living Room in nowadays or even in old time, use wallpaper as the wall decoration in house, replace the paint.

And wall..somehow, we called a witness that can hear what we do in the room. They can not see or speak. I interpretationed it with ears popping out from the wall through the wallpaper.

Anykinds of ear, because i dont know, whats in there.. but i know they really wants to hear us.

i used "hand built" technique to make the ear

ears on wallpaper!! i did soo many ;D

and these one is the furniture in the Living Room as another display props. I spray them all white

Ceramic Exhibition 6th-12th October 2011

"Ready ,Set, Go.. Who's The Winner?!"

Treat your wall as a human, Cover them with wallpaper as their Skin, They might hear what you do in the room within. -Afini Dwinastary-

Stoneware, Colored Slip, Glaze, 1250*C, Hand Built, Various Dimenssion, 2011

I have concept and i have story for the tittle of my work in this exhibition. As i told you before, my concept comes from the tittle of the workshop,"Skin Matters" by Mirjam Veldhuis, ceramic artist.

I choose wallpaper as the skin. That cover the wall. In my perception, wall is the silent witness that only can hear. That's why , they wanted to hear what we do, untill their ear pops up from the wallpaper.

Then i made the display not only simple display, but i want it to have a story. I set them as a living room from my TV idea in the recent brain storming. As i see my ceramics are many. Some I've made it welldone, some i made it crack, or torn on some part.

So, my story of the display is about competition of applying wallpaper in the room. There are two room. One still messy i called it "Un-fini-shed Room" . Another one is already tidy and clean i called it "Fini-shed Room".

Workshop and Exhibition for Oct 2011

yiippy!! an Exhibition again..

as i wish i want to have them at least once a year..

I am glad those goodluck came to me after my birthday. Here's the story..

After I left Bali, i wanted to make my decision of being an artist (i hope this will last forever ;P) or being a good furniture/product designer; REAL.

Then, i went to Bandung on my birthday, September 10th , 2011. I wanted to refresh my self , hang around with my closest friends. Being in Bandung feels like hometown too for me. I have studied here for 5years in Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB).

My friend ask me to join some workshop. I was surprised that is Ceramic, things that i haven't touched before. And again, I will say YES! for learn new things !!

I've got more exited , because the artwork of that workshop will be exhibit, after.

Anyway, for futher information , i have coppied these text of that workshop:

I join the Naka Charity Exhibition for Bali Dogs. And here i coppied the further info about the exhibition:

Bali has many street dogs that are often subjected to the most horrendous cruelty. Some animal rescue organizations: BAWA, BARC and Yudistira Swarga have been struggling to accommodate them all.

Oh, for DOG's Sake! is a charity art exhibition organized by Naka Contemporary Art to help raise money for street dogs in Bali.

We bring together diverse range of artists, local and international, to experiment unlimitedly with every possible interpretation of their love of the dogs in any kind of media they feel drawn to.

Support this great cause and get a chance to help our four-legged friends and meet some of the most exciting artists in town!

This is me ;p
my usual forehead, and i love purple(eye lashes and hair piece). My eyes are one closed and one peeking. But, there is tiny eyes on my forehead.. It means that, even i am sleeping or close my eyes. i still see my dream, see my future and see you.

the Tittle : "Mengintip" (peeking)
the concept, *i will read it in Bahasa Indonesia :
"Saya merindukan hutan, pepohonan dan rumput. Di sekitar saya hanya ada gedung-gedung bertingkat dan kendaraan motor yang membuat polusi. Saya bosan dengan rutinitas kota, dan ingin kesana (hutan)"

Me and my art work,
