Agus Wijaya: Statement
Wijaya’s practice questions the construction of both the personal and cultural self through 3D abstraction, experimental sculpture and new media.
He draws on the beliefs and elements from his home country as he seeks to reconnect with the cultural heritage – that he stayed away from, but came to realise – that despite everything, helps explain his perception of things.
His recent works are a multi-medium exploration of identification and dis-identification, of personal and cultural histories, of the bridges and glitches between ways of knowing and seeing.
