Knitting the soul of the world

Guru, Published on 09/08/2019

» Mulyana, Yogyakarta-based environmental artist from Bandung, Indonesia, uses discarded materials such as rubber, plastic and fabric from factories and knits them into imaginary creatures, sculptures and art installations on a large scale. The former art teacher is committed to using art as a medium and has had works showcased domestically and abroad in Australia and Singapore and now Thailand. The artist aims to convey the message, "for humanity to honour the world that we live in", to reflect environmental issues. This exhibition is one of five world-class partnerships held to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Central Embassy. Guru speaks to Mulyana about his new eco-exhibit, "Anima Mundi: Soul of the World" on display in Bangkok.
