Silent Nature: Mask in Progress

Silent Nature, Mask in Progress is just a short video to show our current collaborative project with Mask Artist Ketut Sukerta. Sawidji has two ongoing projects with Ketut. One is to build our collection of traditional masks. The other is our collaborative work.

This is the first mask in a series that Sawidji has initiated. Exploring current themes that we can reflect upon. This mask is nearing completion so hopefully we will have a feature on it next week.

Sawidji Gallery YouTube Channel

We created a Sawidji YouTube Channel last week. All our videos will be uploaded there as well. So we hope you will take a look and enjoy more from Sawidji.
