Catalogue Note
“The Kinabalu series explores the eroded spiritual power of the Kadazandusun woman and her shifting relationship to her land. Mt Kinabalu is the only fixture in Sabah's dramatically changing environment, the compass to Kadazandusun communities and the final resting place of ancestors. ‘Huminodun’ is in respect to the Kadazandusun creation story where woman created the earth and padi and thus cultivated her community. ‘Anak Negeri’ is my self-portrait, family sitcom and museum diorama. As a Vision 2020 Malaysian, I try and find my place, balanced with an inheritance I have from my Kadazan grandmother, as the oil palm spreads and we, like the harvest and the landscape become homogenized. ‘Kopivosian’ is modern Sabah - a huge oil palm estate, a factory for Putrajaya. The ‘Kinabalu series’ is my lament for Sabah.”
