 Top up: Hero Star Heineken 33 Export Harp Orijin Guinness Satzenbrau Gulder with size 520 cm x 1050 cm, made from straw 2015.   At the Course of collecting straws for works I discovered that straw somehow is very hard to get by when you’re looking in empty beer bottles unlike in the soft drinks and when you per-adventure see straw in beer bottles though on rare cases you will be surprised to discover that it is two straws in a bottle.  My trying to interpret or provide answer to the reason why we usually have two straws in a beer bottle made me remember one of the topics: class struggles in the subjects Government back then in my secondary school days. In the world of triangle, if the illustration is represented with human figure, you don’t need a third eye to see that it is on the head of the proletariat the bourgeoisie are standing. Maybe beer is more expensive, maybe it’s the pleasure around drinking beer. Maybe it’s just the feeling.  Maybe it’s different top up hero star Heineken 33 export harp orijin Guinness satzenbrau gulder.

 WORK DISCUSSION
 My eagerness to explore and augment a kind of weaving technique which I use frequently on polythene bags directed my attention to straws.
Straws precisely small, commonly used by consumers of drinks, but cannot be said to constitute environmental dangers became fascinating. It is very motivating to say that at the point of collection I can tell who used it, what product it was used for, at what occasions the straw will be found and at what seasons I will be getting straws, every story and activities that happened to the straw hits me at that point.
All these I feel I am investigating using the straw materials, place and the lives of people assumed to have used it. I weave together the story and retell it through art. I am trying to bring in a little humor while celebrating the presented colours as it has shown in the work.
