Duality 2001
An issue of two major elements complementing, contravening,
contradicting and compensating each other. This work best
summarised all my works from the early 80's to present. The
sculpture embraces the divinity of the vein of palm leaf where
it dominates the whole structure and embodies the forms and
shapes of each individual piece.
A deliberate attempt to induce audiences to interact with
the pieces because the palm leaf veins are installed and positioned
in such a way that will attract people in actually literally
feel the sculpture.
The message is clear, subtlety often create great characteristics.
The sculpture challenge the tenet of culture compromising
to technology, the sculpture blossoming into a statement of
culture being supported by technology and pretty vain about
it. Notice the 'proud as a peacock' style. On a closer look,
each vein is actually embedded onto the acrylic sheet hence
a marriage between organic and geometric form. That's what
duality is all about, when 2 becomes 1, when a vow of understanding
made between chaos and order, elastic and inelastic, tender
and violence, fake and original and it goes on and on.
