KASIH SEORANG TOKWAN. (LOVE OF ONE GRANDPA)


Lebih kurang setahun sebelum meninggal dunia, dia sentiasa menulis nama2 cucu dan cicitnya agar dia tak lupa. Sebab tu lah dia kini lejen dan 'superman' yg takkan dilupai sampai bila2. 

(About a year before he passed away, he used to write down for many times names of his grandchildren and great grandchildren in order not to forget them. Thats why he had become our legend and superman that will forever b remembered).

Dikongsi di sini beberapa projek pelajar tahun akhir UMS yg dipamerkan dlm MATRIX baru-baru ini. Tahniah semua!!!

(Shared here are several projects by thr final year students of UMS exhibited in the recent MATRIX.)


CATAN HIDUP / LIVING PAINTING (Part 2)
"Habitat", a beautiful and soothing painting with video projection by Suma Azri Suhumi (UMS, 2015). Awesome! 

As I have been envisioning this in my mind for quite some time, I stumbled upon this student's work. He thanked me for my 'Hijab Pelukis', I thanked him for cleansing my toxic eyes. Chanteeek encounter.

"The Borrower of Light"(2003). Mana la tau, kot ada yg tanya "ada tak diterjemahkan menerusi karya?" 


Juga telah diterjemah menerusi visual ini sebagai sebahagian dari strategi penjenamaan-semula sebuah muzium & galeri (kulit buku, bahan2 promosi, hebahan, kad jemputan, poster dll). 


Komen dari Anderson Ee:

"Kebun Jiwa Halus - awesome bro -encourages awareness, also known as "giving and receiving mudra", throughout history - the open palm has come to mean openness, truth and honesty, a reminder that we cant hold on to anything, also aknowledges that we dont know the answers but are humble enough to ask or offering to others. Bear in mind, this position is very different than the position of "begging"."

Anderson Ee, as we scoop a pool of water on our palms before washing our face (as in ablution=ambil air sembahyang), we can see a pool of water in the shape of love. The picture is below is cover for the exhibition 'Takung' which I curated in 2004 at the National Visual Art Gallery.

SI JANTUNG HATI : BAB 2 (MY SWEETHEART : CHAPTER 2)

Susulan beberapa kuliah dan bengkel Jiwa Halus : jagalah getaran kuantum emosi, ia mempengaruhi getaran fikiran. Teruskan ceria. 

Follow-up from several fine heart lectures and workshops : take care of our emotional quantum vibrations, they influence our thoughts. Stay happy.


Picture below: 
"Peta Jiwa"(Map of the soul), mixed-media on canvas, 2011. In case someone asked, "how did u translate your research into a painting", like during my recent talk. Sharing is caring, worait. 



Close-up. C the heatwave colours - anger, fear, disgust, anxiety, fuyoooo....toxic period. Do not copy this in your heart, bad wave ma!!!! But its ok to learn from it though. All is good. 

Picture below:
"Mendiri", mixed-media on plywood, 2010. Check out the heatwave range as comparison.?Love and happiness arising. Caya la, this one good vibes.


(Hearts are of four kinds: the heart that is clear like a shining lamp; the heart that is covered and tied up; the heart that is upside-down; and the heart that is clad in armor. As for the clear heart, it is the heart of the believer in which is a lamp filled with light; as for the covered heart, this is the heart of the disbeliever; as for the upside-down heart, this is the heart of the hypocrite, who recognizes then denies; as for the armor-clad heart, this is the heart in which there is both faith and hypocrisy. The parable of the faith in it is that of legume, a sprout that is irrigated with good water, and the likeness of the hypocrisy in it is that of sores that are fed by blood and pus. Whichever of the two prevails is the characteristic that will dominate.) 

From Imam Ahmad, narrating Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri witnessing the saying of Prophet Muhammad.
