Binatang Biru Series: Washi Tape
This washi tape* is designed specifically to complement my “Binatang Biru” Series.
Size: 1.5cm height and 10m in length.
Binatang Biru is Indonesian for Blue Animals. This series is an exploration of my heritage as a Chinese-Indonesian woman in subject matters I adore. My love for intricate patterns started young as my grandparents used to own a batik factory in Jakarta long before I was born. Batik is a textile technique of using wax and dye originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. I also grew up surrounded by blue and white pottery all around the homes of my extended family. Looking back through years of being an artist, I realized how much I enjoy drawing intricate patterns. When I first started thinking about this series, I wanted to go home to my comfort zone of drawing cute animals while expanding what it means to embrace images of cultural arts I was inspired by while growing up in Southeast Asia.
*washi tape: semi-transparent tape used for journaling, planners, decorating, packaging and many other creative uses. Easy to tear by hand and removable depending on the type of paper used.
Orders in the Binatang Biru Series will ship first week of June 2023
