Batik

About Batik

Batik is a resiste-dye technique using hot wax that has long history in different areas of the world.

 

Batik has  however, been practiced most widely with the greatest significance and most elaborate forms in Java, Indonesia.

 

The technique that defines batik requires the artist to give particular attention to the process.

 

The very elaborateness of the process invites contemplation of what might be worth going through such an elaborate means of producing lines on cloth for.

 

Batik is thus an invitation to speak through art as a language that can bridge the ineffable and the mundane.
