This year TRAILS finalists included artists from across Australia. The works reflected a range of media, techniques and experience, providing viewers with a broad spectrum from which to cast their People's Choice vote. TRAILS included large scale works in the main exhibition and small scale works in a miniatures exhibition.
This sculpture is part of the Macan collection, which means 'Tiger' in Bahasa Indonesia, inspired by the picture of a tiger that my father cut out from a calendar of the year I was born. Macan is a form of representation that explores the perception of culture and the self.
