Tangram

I have now been looking at the Chinese Tangram and am now working on ideas using puzzles.  

This is in response to Nomas.

Boboko

I have been doing research about Sundanese Boboko rice containers as part of the collaboration with an Indonesian artist Nomas Kurnia. The Boboko is considered to be part of the macrocosm of Sundanese culture. It symbolises perfection of conduct and is constructed using three basic shapes, the cube, the sphere and the cone or the square the circle and the triangle.  It originally was used to serve steamed rice (rice being associated with the myth of the Goddess of Rice) but today other foods are served in it.

This has already resulted in two new pieces as part of my thinking process and research. I want to develop further a sequence of objects in response  to this beautiful container and the research that it has led me to.

This project is guided and initiated by an MA curatorial student at UCA. It is a brave and interesting project. We have been having a three way conversation on Facebook and this is very experimental for all of us. It is exciting.
