> < Mantera

 

Mantera, meaning black magic in Bahasa Malaysia, is an exhibition catalogue designed in conjunction with Jalaini Abu Hassan's solo exhibition held in 2004The artist was experimenting with bitumen and compressed charcoal for this series.

We noticed chipboards are placed on the artist's studio floor for protection. With the unexpected drips and marks on the boards, we then timmed and used it as covers for each of the 300 catalogues, each bearing a unique look.
