Of Coils and Dots

$600.00

 

Coils (ukel) and dots (cecek) are the two ornaments motifs that are often used as background in traditional batik. Here, they become the centrestage, in the spotlight, out of the shadow of the well-known motifs, such as  kawung or Garuda wings. This art piece is all about finding beauty in simplicity, finding order in chaos. Besides, the roads to success are not straight forward, the coils represent that the twists and turns of life.

Only made up of coils and dots, arguably the two simplest strokes in batik painting, yet they are the hardest to execute to get a uniform shapes. This piece employs the three tools and technique of adding wax resist – using a canting, cap, and a brush. Yellow and red are chosen as colours of success and prosperity.
