During the three days of Open Studios Penang, Ilza will be creating a site-specific art work as part of a series called ‘Infinity’. The art work will come to life in a corner of the inner garden courtyard at China House. Ilza explains Infinity:

“The idea of Infinity is represented by a multiplicity of colour lines drawn freely by hand. In my art, a line is a signifier of my existence: it inscribes my being and my action in time and space. It appears from the void and then returns to it. It is boundless/infinite as an idea and yet it is bounded/limited by the physicality of its appearance”.

You are welcome to come and see this art work as it is being created by Ilza during the three days, emerging from the walls.
