S. Teddy Darmawan's Cabinet Artwork, Indonesia


This work is created as a response to Sin Sin Man’s invitation. I love the concept because within its theme, it still leaves plenty of freedom for me in creating my work. After all: “Art is Freedom”. My work turned out to take shape in 3-dimensional piece where within each of its room there are objects or 3d elements taken from my own art installations done in the past, which I have been collecting since 2000 until now.

Working on this work has been an enjoyable process. It felt like recollecting my memories about those works, their themes and the special moments that came with them. The theme for this work is about how mankind has taken over the earth and their environment with disastrous result. Disastrous for human beings and also for nature, all created by human.

This “Ten by Ten Project” may not stop here, perhaps it will continue on. Thanks to Sin Sin for the invitation to create for a very inspirational event which has reignited my awareness as an artist to re-examine “Art is Freedom”.
