Rangga Lawe
Rangga Lawe was born in 1983 in Jakarta. He actively participates in exhibitions, collectives, and festivals. Most of his works respond to environmental issues, using the medium of carved wood. He currently resides in Yogyakarta and runs a mini carving studio called Rollingroll.
As agricultural lands are transformed into industrial areas, the wrath of nature follows. The increase of heavy machinery used by different industries leaves a trail of destruction in its wake, such as in the case of Kulon Progo – one of the most developed industrial areas in Indonesia, close to Yogyakarta. As a result the cultivation by local people of their own lands, to provide in their own sustenance, is threatened. His work on the Pentagonal Icositetrahedron reflects on the resulting resistance and community endeavours to protect their livelihoods.
