Arachbiscus
“The Itsy-Bitsy Arachbiscus
Climbed up the water spout
She told the rain that
She was in fact a hibiscus
Yet born with a spider body
No more hiding for her
Out came the rainbow”
–Melissa Sunjaya, 2009
‘Arachbiscus’ collection was part of the earliest edition of Tulisan. This abstract element represented a creature born with an anomaly condition, half a flower and half a spider. It did not belong to any social communities, so the creature spoke to the rain about its secret. ‘Arachbiscus’ is a serigraph collection of canvas bags, totes, wallets, purses, compartments, pouches, and accessories.
