September begins with ‘sky blue’, a piece made for the exhibition Karyakata at RumahLukis, which showcased a thematic selection of artworks in the collection of Pital Maarof. Artists and friends of RumahLukis were asked for an anecdote or quote relating to any of the works on display.

‘sky blue’ evolves into ‘blue sky’. One describes colour while the other describes a state of mind or a weather condition. Blue skies: everything is nice. A mental attitude. Adding a warm yellow on the zigzag pattern gives dimensionality to an otherwise flat pattern. ‘indigo’ reminded me of the natural dye, popular for batik and denim colouring.
