Yogyakarta: Nadiah Bamadhaj
In Lanang Pijar, 2023, a featureless, horned face made of patinated cast brass in a robin’s-egg blue tone looms high above eye level. Suspended beneath it is a droplet-shaped resin womb covered unevenly in goat hide and internally lit. For The Harvest, 2023, a metal hook attached to a buffalo-hide heart supports a tapering cluster of navy-blue, silver-streaked testes, from which delicate metal rods sprout forth like mycelium.
