Intentions in Manifold Dimensions: Ujud Kepedulian Delapan Perempuan

Sederet karya mengasyikkan dari delapan perupa perempuan hadir di Pameran Intentions in Manifold Dimensions, di Galeri Ruang Dini, Bandung, 3-26 Maret 2023.

Seniman muda dari berbagai daerah ini menampilkan eksperimen mereka dalam image-making dengan menggunakan limbah industri, elemen biotik, juga residu dari kepingan-kepingan kenangan yang terlupakan. Hasil dari eksperimen tersebut terbentang dari ukiran pada pelat mineral, plastik dan film yang dimodifikasi, hingga arang dengan berbagai wujud pada permukaan.

Kepedulian, pada Intentions in Manifold Dimensions, diterjemahkan dalam wujud kepedulian terhadap material oleh Maharani Mancanagara, Claire Sukamto, Nidiya Kusmaya, dan Etza Meisyara. Pigmen, katalis, dan permukaan mereka bersumber dari hal-hal yang dianggap sebagai “sisa-sisa” dari berbagai material.

Sementara kepedulian sebagai hasil pengamatan pada kompleksitas cara alam dan batin bekerja dihadirkan oleh Carla Agustian, Fika Ria Santika, Rahayu Retnaningrum, dan Rega Ayundya Putri.

Peduli tentang bahan-bahan itu ditunjukkan Maharani Mancanagara, Claire Sukamto, Nidiya Kusmaya, dan Etza Meisyara, mengambil pigmen, katalis, dan permukaan mereka dari apa yang dianggap sebagai sisa-sisa dan telah menjalani banyak kehidupan sebagai bahan.

Maharani Mancanagara

Dalam seri karya “Tritunggal Darma”, Maharani menghidupkan kembali tumpukan kontainer kayu bekas melalui proses fumigasi yang dijadikan medium untuk basis gambar dengan charcoal.

Ia meletakkan karya-karyanya di permukaan kayu untuk menggambar peralatan seukuran perkakas dapur, kamar kecil, dan kamar tidur (Dapur, Sumur, Kasur) yang diterjemahkan dalam warna hitam dan oker.

Claire Sukamto

Claire menyimpan tumpukan film negatif 35 mm dari laboratorium foto untuk fragmen kolase karya “Dissociated”. Ia membentuk matriks yang terdistorsi dari tampilan grid thumbnail berukuran kecil. Cukup sulit mengenali setiap gambar dari sekumpulan gambar di karya itu.

Seri karya “Dissociated” ini mengeksplorasi perasaan keterasingan, dunia di sekitar kita, dan keterpisahan diri dari lingkungan yang seharusnya terintegrasi.

“Di tangan Maharani dan Claire yang teliti, mereka membawa perhatian kita pada kemungkinan bentuk reinkarnasi dan kemampuan untuk menjembatani dialog antara masa lalu dan sekarang,” kata Gesyada Siregar.

Eksperimen Berbahaya

Gesyada juga mengamati bagaimana Nidiya dan Etza mengambil proses yang diperhitungkan dan intuitif dalam menangani bahan cair berbahaya. Nidiya membeli jelaga (abu karbon) dari cerobong pembangkit listrik Sukabumi sebagai pigmen batubara-hitam dalam teknik Suminagshi (kertas marmer).

Sementara Etza bertualang ke laut di Bali, untuk mengoksidasi garam menjadi pelat tembaga, dan kemudian mengukirnya dengan amonia cair. Sebelum proses pembuatan gambar, Nidya dan Etza menjalankan tes ilmiah untuk mengukur keamanan cairan kimia ini.

Setelah terbukti aman, mereka dengan hati-hati mengatur pola pada setiap tabula, bergabung dengan kekuatan bubur kimia, gravitasi bumi, dan firasatnya. Karya mereka ini menghasilkan jejak reaksi unsur kuno dengan karakteristiknya yang memikat, misterius, namun berbahaya jika tidak dikendalikan dengan hati -hati.

Nidiya Kusmaya

Sejak menekuni studi Kriya di ITB, Nidiya terbiasa mengumpulkan limbah dan beragam seri mineral dalam perburuannya mencari alternatif pewarna tekstil dan bahan kertas dengan siklus daur ulang; dari tanah, mikroorganisme, tanaman, atau buah.

Ia begitu tertarik dengan gagasan warna hitam yang berasal dari batu bara, sesuatu yang kuno dari ratusan tahun yang lalu. Ia mulai memahami pro dan kontra menggunakan materi tersebut. Meskipun memiliki kelebihan, seperti menjadi murah dan berlimpah, ia juga memiliki kelemahan seperti menjadi racun.

“Saya bertanya-tanya apakah umat manusia harus tetap bergantung pada materi ini yang telah dibuat jutaan tahun yang lalu. Sementara kehidupan manusia sudah pasti telah maju sejak saat itu, itu masih bergantung pada sumber daya kuno seperti batubara dan karbon,” kata Nidiya.

Etza Meisyara

Karya “Garam di Laut, Asam di Gunung bertemu dalam Belanga” merupakan hasil penjelajahan Etza di berbagai situs geografis dari laut ke gunung untuk menggunakan bahan seperti belerang dan garam laut.

Untuk merangkai kekaryaan ini, ia membuat etsa foto pada tembaga dari gambar yang didapatkan dari laut di Suluban, Bali. Dari laut itu juga ia mengoksidasi garam ke pelat tembaga.

Secara filosofis, Etza tertarik dengan mitos tentang garam sebagai bahan yang dapat mengusir energi negatif. Di Jawa, garam telah dikenal sebagai bagian dari ritual untuk membuang nasib buruk dan menolak kejahatan.

Garam ditabur di sekitar pelat untuk menciptakan suasana atmosfer di sekitar gambar. Pelat kuningan kemudian terukir dengan amonia cair.

Gambar dan warnanya tidak hanya dicetak dan dicat tetapi muncul sebagai hasil dari proses kimia. Untuk memperkuat ekspresi artistik, ia menggaruk, membakar, dan menghapus gambar. Etza berkeinginan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana bahan dapat mengubah energi menjadi bentuk apa pun.

Gesyada juga mengamati kompleksitas bagaimana alam dan jiwa batin bekerja dalam karya seni Rega Ayundya Putri, Fika Ria Santika, Rahayu Retnaningrum, dan Carla Agustian.

Rega Ayundya Putri

Karya seri “Am I Missing” menjadi upaya untuk menggambar representasi visual dari diri Rega dalam sebuah potret diri. Bentuk organik terinspirasi oleh fotografi mikroskopis bagian tubuh dirinya, sementara bentuk persegi panjang merah muda adalah representasi visual grafis dari catatan siklus menstruasi di ponselnya.

“Seri ini adalah cara untuk menemukan diri saya di era modern ini, di mana kita dapat dengan mudah mengambil foto diri kita sendiri atau melacak kegiatan kita dengan ponsel pintar kita, namun pada saat yang sama, kita terus mengalami kesulitan menemukan siapa kita sebenarnya,” tutur Etza.

Fika Ria Santika

Dalam karya “Rona 11,” Fika Menyusun patung dengan resin, akrilik, pigmen, dan lampu. Ia menonjolkan bentuk organik dengan menyusun plastik, kabel, dan pendar dari rona fluoresen.

Lapisan dari materi yang tersaji adalah ungkapan tentang perjalanan, proses, harapan, dan masa depan.

“Pengamatan saya terhadap alam menciptakan kemungkinan visual yang terus berubah, bersama dengan perubahan dalam pemahaman saya tentang alam,” ujar Fika.

Rahayu Retnaningrum

Rahayu menyandingkan citra perkotaan dan pedesaan menjadi visualisasi yang nyata dalam lukisannya. Neon kehidupan malam kota, kucing, burung, pesona kolosal langit terbuka, pohon-pohon tanpa daun, gunung, bulan purnama, dan balok geometris memenuhi seluruh ruang imajiner.

Karya “Felocity” adalah luapan rasa Rahayu dengan pengalamannya hidup di Jakarta, untuk kemudian mendiami suasana desa di Cilacap dalam dua tahun terakhir. Rahayu membagi emosi tentang bagaimana ambiens perkotaan yang serba cepat dengan suasana desa yang penuh kesederhaan.

“Bentuk geometris, warna, dan bentuk organik bukanlah subjek terpisah yang berdiri sendiri. Bagi saya, mereka bergabung menjadi ruang imajiner. Ruang yang dibentuk berdasarkan lapisan kenangan, pengalaman pribadi, dan hidup berkelanjutan. Ruang yang akan selalu saya buka untuk siapa saja yang melihatnya,” tutur Rahayu.

Carla Agustian

Dalam karya “Senbazuru” dan “Sacred Lotus”, Carla membuat origami, menangkap sudut lewat foto, dan menggambar ulang dengan charcoal.

Menurut kepercayaan orang -orang Jepang, jika seseorang berhasil membuat seribu angsa origami, melakukannya dengan rajin dan tulus, impian dan harapan mereka akan menjadi kenyataan.

Sementara dalam beberapa keyakinan agama, bunga Lotus dianggap sebagai simbol spiritualitas dan pencerahan. Bunga Lotus memiliki makna mendalam yang melambangkan banyak nilai positif dan keindahan di dalamnya.

Bagi Carla, pembuatan seribu angsa origami menarik karena membutuhkan kesabaran dan ketelitian sebagai bentuk meditasi dan penyembuhan untuk seseorang yang mengalami kesulitan. Prosesnya pun secara tidak langsung mengajarkan kita untuk bersabar dan jangan pernah menyerah pada hidup.

“Saya berharap bahwa lukisan ini, bahkan jika seseorang hanya melihatnya dan tidak benar -benar menjalani proses membuat seribu kertas angsa, dapat menginspirasi mereka untuk terus berharap dan berdoa,” ucap Carla.

Intensi

Gesyada Siregar mengungkapkan, pameran ini merupakan penafsiran atas “kepedulian” dalam bentuk karya representasional. Karya dua atau tiga dimensi memiliki kekuatan untuk memadatkan cerita dan fragmen dari material yang menarik secara visual ke dalam kerangka yang nyata.

Seniman yang bekerja dengan ketiga dimensi ini mengerti bahwa mereka dapat menyampaikan pemikiran mereka sebagai jejak abadi dan konkret dari gerak tubuh, keahlian, dan proses penalaran mereka.

“Membuat dan mengamati karya seni representasional ini dimaksudkan sebagai latihan untuk praktik perawatan tentang bagaimana kita melihat, membentuk, dan menilai perspektif dalam hidup kita,” tuturnya.
