This installation consists of a combination of wood carvings presented from various functions and consensus. These images engraved on the woods are Davina’s records of Balinese landscapes, a New Zealand artist. She has spent her life in Bali since 1974 (when she was 7 years old). Bali is her place to play and her memories of the natural space. The frequent motifs that appear here are forests, trees, ocean landscape, hair buns, waves and mountains. Some of the images are artifacts from her previous artworks. Media transfer is one of the activities happening about this work. At the same time, this work comes from an idea about the Braille script. The interaction that is built up from this work tries to find a new space/dimension of an artwork. When the sense of sight and the sense of touch are combined in the same medium and material, will the way we understand reality still be the same?
