DERΔU BLOG: helo from 2020

hello!

been a long time. i've been logging in and write or share stuffs, but then decided not to post it. i've been doing it for years. but it's all ended up in drafts. been longing to write and share in this blog because as you know, we are now facing global health issues. The positive solitude that people bring, lots of intimacy on their own nest, and heavy inspiration i take from online friends really lighten my mind during this crazy times. and i think i found another meaningful impact just to share your thoughts in this area. especially in blog, you could be your fully self, not just curating some of your truly self per se. a couple years ago i were just active on instagram and doing my art (finally!). also having another kid! she is very special, and very beautiful inside and out! and she is a Agugn's twin!

i hope you are great during this crazy times.

finally i have my own online webstore. kindly check my one of a kind ceramic bits and pieces there. most of them are functional and comes in a very limited quantity.

so how is your isolation days going?

i hope it's full of appreciation and happiness.

i spent my isolation days in my home/studio near Ubud, Bali. Ah, Yes, we are moving to Bali! we are here since 2018 and it couldn't get any better. it's been hard to settle down here because we practically didn't have family near here, and our home/studio practically in a village. but the great thing about it is i could work full time now as an artist/ceramicist.

i also add the word Arta in front of my studio name :)

i miss writing and sharing in this platform. hopefully i could do it more often on the future.

for now i will leave you with a couple of Arta Derau 's pieces.
