Alas-alasan is an exhibition of new textiles and sculptures by Naarm-based artist Leo Bagus Purnomo, featuring traditional batik motifs of animals and plants, where the forest symbolises an in-between place between the earth and gunung (or 'mountain') that is symbolic of heaven.
Leo 's works draw on traditional Indonesian batik methods alongside screenprinting and painterly gestures, asking questions about what resists and what seeps through—not just wax and dye, but also memory and belonging.
