Originally published in Asian Art News, Sept-Oct 1998; online by artdesigncafé in 2012.
Full Citation: Astri Wright, “Looking Back Through Glass, Crossing Seven Seas and Seven Valleys,” in West Vancouver Art Museum, _Under the Shade of the Lotus Tree: Rozita Moinishirazi, Part Azarm Motamedi_. Exhibition Catalogue, pp.15-23. (ISBN: 978-1-989236-20-8).
Co-Authors of Catalogue: Hilary Letwin, Curator; Hossain Amanat.
Other essays in catalogue are by: Nicole Soriano and Wulan Dirgantoro, with a foreword by Aisha Amrin.
NOTE: For more complete access to this important exhibition of Murni's work, the full catalogue is posted under this post.
This exhibition catalogue as a whole is a wonderful tribute to Semsar Siahaan, with essays by T.K.Sabapathy, Aniruddin T.H. Siregar, and Angelina Chairil. Honoured to be included in their company to commemorate Semsar, whom I first wrote about in my 1991 dissertation and subsequent 1994 book.
“The Awakening of a Guru Rinpoche Statue At Kathok Gonpa, British Columbia.”

Author's NOTE: As a PhD student doing fieldwork, I wrote about the artists I interviewed in the Jakarta Post, Indonesia's main English language newspaper read widely by the professional and culture-aware class. Publishing these media articles served two purposes: it helped me organize my notes and thoughts and it brought attention to young artists whose work I felt mattered, in an art world where there were few mechanisms for younger artists to get the attention of curators, critics, and collectors. I am posting some of the over 30 articles I wrote for the JP here, as they represent the earliest writing in English about many Indonesian artists who are globally known today.
