MAWAR, MAKHLUK DALAM KULIT SENDIRI 2

Self taught
Painting, printmaking, sculpture

A Curiosity of how people and things work
led me to making things which allow an examination
of my location by means of stories.

The artwork become my workspace where
I draw up aspects and matters
relating to my address.

The several bodies of work I make;
provide ‘routes for exploration’ to an idea.
