“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
The artist explores the medium of rubbercut print on textile inspired by the moon and its enigmatic facets. The artist molds his narratives adopted from the childhood game of creating images while staring on the moon. One may see shadow of animals, flora and in this case, faces.
The moon translated as persona with various moods. As the moon’s heavenly transitions are temporal, so are the emotions of the portraits.
The moon as a humble heavenly body whose glimmer is affected by the movement of the sun and the earth. A relationship that mimics the interaction of people in a symbiotic relationship. This kind of bond is reflected in this exchange of artistic creations in this exhibition. A transit of works from the Filipino printmakers to Singapore. – mutual, gentle, and intimate.
