Artists Statement
I have been active since the 90s, as an activist, art student, at that time living on Malioboro Street, Jogjakarta, from here I learned a lot about life and interacted with various groups, inspired by the theme of my work, the content and contents of my work, In 1999 I started actively creating work from various found materials such as wood, iron, nails, glass and plastic, then one day I observed and saw wood being cut to make furniture. I saw a lot of leftover pieces of wood that were only used for firewood. Then I made something, from used wood, the reason is that wood is good and cheap. Because I used to often be on the street, my work tends to be more social criticism, I reveal things through wood, I enjoy, and really enjoy working with wood, Besides, hundreds of drawings to look for ideas.
