Nasty goreng is a word play on an Indonesian dish (Nasi Goreng).
This collection of work is a fun spin on our view of Indonesia. We spent 2 months in a village surrounded by mountains and jungle on the island Java to learn the ancient artisan printing method known as Batik.
For 2 months, 10 hours a day, no days off, we worked on these pieces sitting on mini chairs in our sweat soaked clothes from the hot sweltering tropical heat.
This travelling exhibition first landed in the shores of Australia at Turner Gallery where we built a snake temple/surf shack, complete with a palm frond roof, Indonesian food signs and rows of teeth, to house all of the eclectic paintings on found wood.
