sketches...

Christopher Basile's Blog — 30 September, 2015
""

Here are a couple of quick self-portrait sketches Kartika made, one with glasses on and one without.  I believe that one of these sketches will be used as a cover or frontispiece for a Kartika biography that is planned for publication sometime in Holland (the author did the interviews with Kartika over a couple of weeks earlier this month).

And though it is not really a 'sketch' I think it is illuminating to see the 'Goats' painting in its earliest moments of creation, in contrast with the finished painting.

Finally, just for fun, I will also share a playful sketch I made at Kartika's house after-breakfast one morning. She commented: "You can draw. But why use a pencil? Why not use a pen?"

Here are some photos of sculptural works by Kartika that are displayed in her gallery. Actually, she does not particularly like calling it a ''gallery'' as she finds the word a bit impersonal and businesslike.

Sambal is ‘chili sauce’ in Indonesia . It comes in many varieties ranging from the sweet to the incredibly hot, and it is served with most meals.

Mbah Manto

I am in Central Java now, at Kartika’s house and gallery which is located about halfway between the city of Yogyakarta and the active volcano Merapi. This is my fourth day here, and we have been busy every day with filming.
