My Best Buddy Ma-Lin (2018) by Tananan JaisawangArt Centre Silpakorn University
Illustrated in this art is the drawing of a dog smiling and inviting viewers to take a closer look at every hidden piece of memories.
Surrounding the favourite pet are items that represent daily lives in the old days.
The artist combines dots, lines, colors, and fabric textures in a range of vibrancy.
The memories and imaginary stories are told through the pieces of the cut, sewn, and patched fabric.
Apart from the patchwork, embroidery and embellishment of brightly-coloured threads accentuate the dimensions and liveliness of the work, reflecting the artist’s passion and diligence in embroidery art.
Intricate lines and powder coatings over the fabric demonstrate the nature of thoughts and memories people keep, mirroring the connection between the artist and lived experience.
