the sculptural art of Kartika...

Christopher Basile's Blog — 1 September, 2015
""

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. She prefers ''omahe'' which means in javanese ''house'' or perhaps in this context ''place.'' So here are some sculptural works displayed in ''Omahe Kartika'' or "Kartika's Place"... They are all intense pieces to see and be around, and I hope the photos convey something of that. And when you hear Kartika explain the inspiration and motivation behind these pieces, then they really come to life. But I suppose you will just have to wait and see the documentary for that... ;)

in front of the tugu in the centre of Yogya

Here is photo of me made by Mas Momi (Kartika's son-in-law, married to Lulu - a most capable and agreeable fellow) in front of the tugu in the centre of Yogya, with Hanuman, and an owl (a burung hantu = "ghostbird'') on my shoulder.

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.
